I tap my index finger on the top of my cigarette, The pier of ash that was building topples off the end. The can is at my lips, A pleasant burn on the throat when swallowed, Imperial stout, The warming burn reminds me of good bourbon. The ***** beer agreeing with my palate. A hard day started early, My early ending is it's own reward, To relax, Kick back And let the tunes carry me away.
