Dawn's first faint light
    beer fueled fury abates.  
    I'm spent, no more fight.
    Sweep up broken plates.

    The neglect always shows through
    yellow teeth in a drunken grin.
    The kid's dressed in hand me downs
    yellow bus without lunch again.

    I have magic elixir I can give
    that makes life worth living.
    Beer and music help me live
    another day still forgiving.
