guttersnipe

booze
can
be
a bad thing
like
when you got something on your mind
or your heart
or both
like when your hurt or pissed off
then you get oh say a bottle of merlot
or pinot
in your gut
and
it
can make you a little crazy
do
say
act like you really have no business doing
kinda like
a crazy person
drama
sophomoric
idiotic
woe is me crybaby
happens
I know this very well
then you gotta wonder
if your gonna act like a crybaby
when your drunk
what exactly Is the problem
there is something going on
some loaded gun
that
needs the booze to pull the trigger
so
I figure it’s best to figure
what the problem is
or
don’t
drink
or both

thank god for friends to pick me up outta the
gutter
and get me home all tucked in tears and all
thank god
jup thank god

Excellent, Josie. The truth comes out in bars. So does testosterone. Mixed with alcohol it could spell trouble.

Your bringng back memories twenty years old
Josephine. Even after all this time, I can still smell the booze and the cigarette smoke, and I once again I am on my favorite spot ... a nice round barstool ... with the jukebox playing ... while playing with the leg of the girl next to me as my fingers do a dance all their own.. Ah! such bittersweet memories. Bill

CaN y0u Smell that SMELL?
Booze will ease for a small bit,
but then there comes the pain again.
A never ending cycle
Until someone will STOP.....Booze....Period
Let me tell ya it aint easy.....
