The drunkard

On a night like any other

What a sham it was to think,

As if my belly had changed address

That I’d settle for just one drink.

The bottle’s neck was all I did need

But my neck I did not heed.

Before the taste had left my lip

The bottle it did tip, surely just one more sip.

 

Since that very first compromise

A fog has thickened in my eyes.

I’m now mad at the wall and ready to brawl

With any fella I so choose to despise.

I’m a rooster tonight, with every cause to fight,

And every last hen in town is a ten.

So I’ll swoon every one, won’t stop till I’m done

Wake up drunk enough to do it again

 

But first, a trip to the loo

Hell bound for the toilette

So, on the no-one-near I don’t spew

Clearing this foul gullet.
