This piece shall hopefully be continued with later additions. As with many others' posts, this is my first on Great Writing. That's just giving an official "top of the mornin' to ya" to the new people met.
Seeking foamy frostbite, my tongue disposed of embers and tossed them
about for a pint. Indeed, ‘twas a Sunday eve and naught would plow my
schedule down like pin to make its own way. Naught should plunder my
forethoughts of ale veins and a frothy nickle-sink. Plainly, the pub.
Its habited draw, descending one to a lowly point -- past peeping like
Tom with customary drop-by’s -- carted into my attention. Nothing
could betray my hand its want, nothing could make my mind fickle with
blasphemous reach, and nothing could keep a bottle from making love to
my tongue. No no, night out, I say! My grotto (why linger here,
distanced from hiccup?) claimed primly garnished apathy and decorative
disinterest, and yet still held from vine and weed, lovers as they are,
clasping hands and embracing my hovel. It bade my exit a familiar,
amused, and foreseen snort of disapproval, and opened its soil-gate to
plowing gait. “’Fie!’ not, rather hie, to right myself with keg. Off
to seek the brothy brews!” The ejaculation popped with gaiety.
My boots never claimed absence of soil, rather stained from the
favorite trek. How so, though, might one ready himself? Complexion?
My chin ever-attempted brawny cornfield shoots. Men didn’t cut the
soup-catchers from themselves ‘round these parts and I conceded to
like-mindedness. Wherefore was the jacket? Aha!, ayonder under watch
and abreast the banister. What a fogy the fettering,
trap-in-the-ground pothole this place was! Banister . . . Hah, if
that. A couple beetles ‘hind my lashes gawked at my tall grandfather,
his analog picking away at wayward silence. On the hind side of
eight? Plentifully the hour coaxed me still; inaction shan’t play
enemy to the silent desolation here. Onward, afoot! Beget my
merriment, kind flagons, I hearken to your hails.
The wind wrapped my present scarf too fondly with its bearings a-to,
‘round my own throat, and collar mounted highly with an inching
trespass about my neck, but hold worry and chide your nerve, for good
time brings liquid expanse to my throat, as each week’s end makes means
to, and consequently finds success. How a man -- nay, I -- duly hoped
for another nightly victory ‘top knocking stool.
Cousin dusk, amiable as an any-man could pull, gave a light and bid me
to prize it. Indeed I did so; one ill-placed “sure-foot” on the street
could boggle my intentions and chap them to secession, for commonly did
the blasted beasts of metal make their runs here. A body cannot
proceed with tidings if one or two short on limbs, chipped off by an
overzealous road- whisker or whistler, wailing about with wheels wiping
the under-tuft. Blimey the roads can trip you rightly! Best keep a
sturdy stomp, there. Yes, even local portholes to a wetted, social
smock such as this local patch town, ripe each yon and year with
communal trivialities and ancient hour-tales (told torrentially times
too many), trafficked the spry. Those “whipped snappers” beat down
doors at youngling ages. How, even then, bottles braced against
restraint and burrowed into fingering clasps, the wee-tods tipping back
for swigs. Ah Hellfire, may the drink draw ‘pon haste, God speed!
Pray the only thing to make the byway seem sluggish be my
thirst!
