Playing with Words: . . . Before I Have to Eat Them
The wise old bartender Had cleaned every glass From the lips that would listen As their footprints would pass
He learned about 'talkers' And the things they'd drink in While by nature and wisdom What we've learned in our skin
He spoke very little As he'd wipe them all dry Not only the outside But their insides that cry...
"I'm empty and lonely And need something with proof" ....That's when he'd open up And serve the hardest drink - 'Truth'

Who is Kaptain Obvious? I'm not sure, but so far I'm liking the Kaptain's log of poetic quatrains! The Kaptain may be "playing with words" but as I read those same words play with me and my mind.
Equipped with clever titles and even wittier verse, Kaptain Obvious may be the best poet, because they're certainly not the worst! My absolute favorite in its entirety thus far has to be "Where your bookends...meet." The name gives a worthy chuckle but it's the last stanza I adore:
"For the wisest truth written:
'Life comes and it goes
All else is between'
And your truth lies in those"
"Playing With Words" is quirky in its construction, humorous, and downright wise--though you may have to read it more than once (and I endorse this) to obtain a new perspective each and every time your hands reach out to grasp the glossy spine.
It's shiny, Kaptain. A-Ok! Thank you Goodreads Giveaway!
