CONFESSIONS OF A FREELOADER (Spoken Word by David Randall Curtis)

[avisualfeel]

Sounds like"The confessions of Jack Nicholson" to me!

[MrCulinaryCommando]

I think you could base an entirely new system of morality on the poem. It groundbreaking!

[TheAuroraBlack]

oh my stars!! lol!!

[santiagodevill]

I don't know how the fuck you do it lol. Get down to the barebones of things.... You have no idea how much I can relate to this one, 5

[dashpoet]

Share your vices - sage words indeed!

[streetspiritlive]

...n so's the landlord...

Grateful that he is!

[MsWriteNow]

Wow, I love this one - how it goes from gritty, to tender, to profane - excellent.

[keanghiero]

Nice

[TheDaveFrom1952]

Love it. 5stars, as always David.

[chicagoalmose]

5 stars!

[WordsWithoutBounds]

Right. Yes. *clears throat* You really are intimidatingly good at this. =D

You have such a steady output of rare and original pieces that I am forced to picture you forever hunched over your paper with a pen in the 6 days that you are not recording videos.

You make me realise that I should spend more dedicated time trying to express myself. *****

[DavidRandallCurtis]

@WordsWithoutBounds -- hey I was going to type but am too bourboned out--sent a private vid :P

[marycigarettes]

the titles are gems in themselves..and the flesh of the poem is always gums for the teeth that lie in the final line...youre amazing..i haven't heard a more appropriate and sexy rumination on christmas...ever........now BEG for your wine,fucker.

[andrewnorris1]

'These things are never appreciated until they are just out of reach', like most things, David, but you have a distinctive and unique way of expressing the obvious, the over used expression, so that they appear fresh in our ears. You bastard, how do you do it!!

[DavidRandallCurtis]

andrewnorris1: I do it with bourbon of course! :p Actually, I'm of the school of thought that says (almost) everything has been said before in some way--I think one trick is to try and use cliches and whatnot in new ways... thanks for the comment and happy xmas! :P

[mrlowdangle]

excellent ..thats a mean looking grin you flashed at the end

[smartbluecat]

You are awesome my friend. Wonderful!

:o)

Gary

[longhairred]

Ha! You just had to put in the trademark delightful 'evil' grin didn't yah?

So I take it that it's YOUR fault that Mr. Cowpox hasn't been posting much these days; too busy slaving away as your editor? Harumph!

[xxxild]

Damn good, David--

[TheFallibleFiend]

This is really, really good stuff.

[Kabuki0009]

Damn fine piece, Hail 1Aware1 *****stars; ) +faved

[charlottepoet]

let's put all those vices out there :) yes..let's

[RowanFortuneWood]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing this :) 5*/fav

[harleynanda]

Another good one, my friend. The way you stress the word bastard would make one think you're laying claim to being a product of the problem. I remember that song from my childhood, by the way.

[elviradark6]

wow, that describes you right down to a tee!! LOL..so what are you doing for lunch? hehehhe

[JesusSavesAtCitibank]

Loved it!

"And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me His voice was filled with evangelical glee, while Sipping down his gin and tonics While preaching about the evils of narcotics And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin While he mentally fondles his next of kin..." ~ Danny Elfman, Oingo Boingo, "Insanity"

Peter Sellers singing "cigarettes, whisky and wild women" on the muppet show.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

[tinySpectacle]

I have to say, it's weird NOT seeing your hands move--at all--during the reading of a poem... Christmas elves got you tied up?

But, actually I love your delivery, very restrained. And this poem is maybe one of my new favorites of yours. I don't really find it funny ha, ha but tad dark and raw and buttery with insight. Ah, I love butter, probably more than insight...I digress..5/fave.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

TinyBrat: "buttery with insight" -- ????

I think you have seen LAST TANGO IN PARIS too many times ya brat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(thanx for the comment ;)

[controversialbook]
