Dear baby, your mother is a drunk

Dear baby, your mother is a drunk. I have tried in every way possible to show your mother what good lies in drinking water But she prefers to take drinks that can make everyone responsible end up in a gutter I have also tried to make her understand that both of you are like bread and butter But safety is a word that makes her blood boil hotter. Dear baby, your mother is a drunk The nasty smell I have to put up with is worse than that of a skunk But to get a chance to feel you move within her, I'd stay with her in a dunk This is evident with the way I sleep on the top bunk I have tried severally to tell her that drinking with you inside is wrong But I honestly can't tell if the love she has for you is strong As perturbed as I am, please note that I have enough love for you at the long run Even though I pray for her to get rid of this thorn Dear baby, I have a little favor to ask of you Is it possible you pinch your mother a little whenever she takes that slow poison? Just so she knows what danger she puts herself in Do not forget to hold on tight if the alcohol ever tries to melt you, I only hope you will not develop strong affinity for it that you would beg to have your first bottle filled with it. But in all sincerity baby, your mother is a drunk.
