A Drinker’s Poems, Thoughts and Dialogue by C.O.B.

A drinker's poems by C.O.B.

On the anniversary, an old man enters a bar to honour the memory of his dear friend who passed away. A collection of poems then aids in telling a story of being in a time where love came at a cost. You will experience the joy of living, loving, and then crying from the pain of it all. Of course, laughter ensues in between—lots and lots of laughter because it is also life. A merry-go-round of raw emotions, this collection of poetry and writings is a testimony to how life was lived, and is meant to be lived… from the perspective of an old drinker.
