- For all the binge drinking and swear words Lack of formality And general distaste for anything besides the bottle Thank you For the inspiration against conformity The idea that I can win the crowd with my words And the fact that I don’t have to walk on eggshells And please all For me to be happy For your ideas on women that “walk the night” I have been warned They lie cheat and steal Yet you just can’t help Going back for more Charles- Can I call you Charles? Thank you For your deeply profound statements On life, love and the pitfalls of alcohol Even though it’s obvious You weren’t sober when you wrote them I’d like to quote you know “A good poem knows when to stop” Stop -
