Burgers and Breweries

When your day-to-day muse refuses to cooperate, but you desperately want to share your Friday's adventure, write a poem. I stared long and hard at the exhausted pile of "I-can't-think" drivel on my word document before I gave up and started playing around. It's a good thing I never grew up, for here is Burgers and Breweries: ‘Twas a grand olde Friday, brewing with adventure. A hearty steed with a coat of red Brought us to the coveted Terrapin Hall. Bracelets of blue were bestowed upon us To give us entry and to reveal The flavor of the hall’s most precious wares. Tree Hugger, Monk’s Revenge, Hopsecutioner, and Maggie’s Farmhouse too. Delicious they were, and not a drop was wasted. When our thirst was well quenched And our hunger gnawed, We embarked on a quest In search of the best. We wanted a choice meal.

It seems that I need to get back on track with my regular Sunday posts! I don't want to leave this hanging in the wind, so I'm updating it on a cloudy Monday evening.

To make up for my lapse, here is a pic spam update! Two Minds This was originally supposed to be Babylon 5 fanart, but it looks vague enough to be whatever you want it to be. Why is he looking at an alternate version of himself? Is it his twin? Why does the one on the left look so determined while the one on the right has tears in his eyes? Whatever the case is, you will have to decide! It's a snake! This is why I need to avoid craft stores. When I saw the pretty, black glass snake, I had to buy it! I have it on a black leather strand right now. For you fellow Harry Potter fans: yes, my immediate tho...
