Under The Influence

[Leanne]

Hello Raymond! I like this -- it seems simple in its construction but the final lines in particular are thought-provoking and quite sad. Whisky and wine have quite different connotations (though I love them both dearly!) -- wine is a far more sociable drink, according to the world at large, whereas whisky seems to turn up in popular culture as the drink of the high-powered businessman these days. I think L7 would work with just "the goddesses told me" or even "the goddesses said", so the statement is still qualified but the sarcastic edge is a little more understated.

Thank you for the read, I enjoyed this.
