Whatya looking at me for?
that just makes me
wanna drink more...

..and his day begins with two full tins,
one for breakfast and one that'll last until it's done
then it's off to the shop for a bottle of ***

discounts in the spirits aisle
he'll be awhile as he ghosts
his way through
and at the checkout  
queue
he cannot resist so he takes the risk of one quick snifter.

Shift a year back when the man was on track and no sign yet of what was to be,

one more can and
another for tea
what will be will be
will he?
