I say I am a happy drunk
Mum says I am not
But what does she know
I feel like a happy drunk
I drink champagne
You see it is ever so strange
I am not like pop
I am a happy drunk
I am a family punk
I love life every day
I sit with other families
And talk to them
I tell them I am a happy drunk
Mum says no
What the bell does she know
She’s a brick and I want to throw it
You see I had a calm drink with
A friend of mine
He said don’t tell people
But he was a millionaire
Mum said I was angry
I am happy I am happy
I am a happy drunk
Mum says no
I remember drinking a lot
Rocking in a cot
Saying what a happy drunk
A family punk an I
I like alcohol
Mum is just worried because her dad
Drank a lot
I am a happy drunk
Mum says no
I am a family punk
Mum says no
What would she know
Happy drunk family punk
Is what I am DUDES

Letter in a bottle
Tossed upon the waves
I’m sure no one will ever read
But if you do….

Come find me here
Alone on this lonely island
Bring a pizza, will you, please?
I’m not picky….

Extra cheese, hold the onions,
Sausage and mushrooms,
But never anchovies….

Where behavior is deemed detrimental
The impact appears incremental
But anger infuses
As loathing reduces
Your soul to the size of a lentil

The whale is a fish and a mammal in one
As white has all colors and also has none
               The grandest of creatures
               With paradox features
Unknown and untouched by the light of the sun

Dare the day
to raise the light
To dedicate
itself to the Sun's respite

To crush
the shadows
kidnapped
by night

To free the wounds
of fright or plìght

The sunny ray's raucous
crackling whips
Soon the darkness
will be flipped

To hear
the moans of
grinding time
The wheels spin on
as the engines whine

So does the day
dare the night ?
Yes it does
to the Sun's delight
