The Ballad of a Drinker 

Sitting in a bar

On Saturday morning

It's not yet 12

Is that a warning?

I'm drinking coffee

But soon something stronger

There's a gnawing in my gut

An alcoholic hunger

Scattered all around

are people just Like me

Sad, lonely souls

Drowning in a booze-filled sea

Some are eating breakfast

It disguises their craving

Legitimising existence

It's only their face-saving

Young people made old

By the bottle

Looking to meet their maker

And get there at full throttle

So cheers to you all

My comrades in drink

Raise all our glasses

Give A bloodshot wink

Do You Want To Be Published ?

Get Published !!

This is YOUR CHANCE to get your story or poem in print in a published book that you can hold, read and share. 

We currently support a Mental Health charity. In order to raise funds for them, they have asked if we could put a book together containg their poetry, stories about mental health and how it effects them and/or their families.

The books theme will be about mental health, depression, but that doesn't mean you need to submit writing about that subject (but it would help lol)

THERE IS NO CHARGE OR COST TO YOU AT ALL. We are confident that the sales will cover the set up cost that we will pay up front! We want nothing from you other than your writing. We would like to have this book ready by no later than November so we can get it out for Xmas ( How nice would it be to give a present of your writing to a loved one ) 

Simply send your work to 'talesoftheunaccepted@gmail.com'....Please feel free to share this, with your own friends list so that they may get this opportunity...We've all got a book in us, now is the time to see it in print.

If you have an idea, but it's not ready yet, just let us know and we will book a slot in the book for you...
