inkhorn

the saloon pontificate
is poping up his stool
with inkhorn phraseology
and a big old hat
sermonizing forth like
the Second Coming
is coming up soon and
latinate lexicology
will somehow save him
from the whiskey regret
poured out in front of him
as the bartender Pontius
washes his hands
and wipes down the bar
