Drinking to Excess...so why drink?


 


Perhaps to get drunk,


Is that anyway to live your life?


Look at the picture above,


Who do you think could show them love?


 


Drinking and drugs do not mix, or so I have been told,


Never will you see, if this you do, your pension when you get old,


And one of these pictures may be shown to the world,


Afterwards you may not remember, but you know you must have swirled…


 


Yes this poet may smoke the weed,


Afterwards all he does do is his face feed,


Never will he drive therein, never will he speed,


Nor would he herein do anything that would mislead…

I left a few dear old toilet bowls that way in my time; and, alas, I really miss them, they were such a comfort.
