"Hi guys! It's been a rough night..."

Ever been very drunk and written something down? Why not send it to us at TheSyphilisTank@hotmail.com?
Well, yeah, there is that. But come on! We may not even reveal your name. Besides, you can always deny it afterwards.

Enjoy these abysmal efforts by Hieronymous Baker and Slick Whoresridge:

[Untitled]
I swim swism sswim my boy though the blackfish never
Challenge the fiscal film surrounding me I cannot bear
The sultry surrender of a thousand insects fucking while
A gollywog saunters across a shining wyrtle:
A fish upon a rock...Who cares?
Just fish who feed here.
And with these weights to carry staggered - no, he shimbled -
From crabclaw to sturgid whirlpool: to where the cooling, icy
Liquid brought him. Though he feared the beauty of his pain,
Mixing god with devil he dealt the pain
A mightly blow...He fell down past -
What time did pass? The time for such a question?
Long ago. And so the tide of shiv'ring-wracked Atlantic
Did yet flow to calmer climes where on the shore did grow
Some bulbs and things that surely will not blow
If only small pressure is applied
to it... {note: at this point James passed out}
Or "them" do you recall; the plural, singular, or - in thrall
Can you but recollect the past through which in vulgar seizure did you cast
Into the smoke-choked mists...   {note: at this point Nick passed out}

sapplings may suffer in the autumn
but then so do I -
last year with the cold
my bank account got smaller
as did my dick
Conservative party politics
Aroused me uncomfortably:
So that after seeing the lady,
The great Maggie Thatcher,
I could hardly walk.

plentifully, she meant to me
yet I sank in the water
like a big white shark
gracefully I sink
but perhaps I'll never rise
Grope them, my little brother said,
But as I took the lady's shoes
From the refrigerator
I somehow felt that
I couldn't.

barracks' cannons sing a song
down the canyon
a day may pass
a song may flower
yet I sit all alone.
Discontent sent him up
High into the tree, where
Pigeons he could eat
And on the heads of the otters
He could pee.

butter cups are not good to drink from:
they melt easily,
they are greasy
and they spread too easy
(over Hovis wheatgerm bread)
I think Hemingway sucks
Said one of the ducks, and
I'll bet that he fucks
Just to make a few bucks
And couldn't care less about me.
