Alcohol Abuse?

You Drunken Fool

Kerry Mulherin
Addicted or not, you've found yourself drunk
You're usually a gent, but tonight, just a punk

You felt like a hero after having three drinks
But now you look sick, and your breath really stinks

We think that you thought...
no wait, that didn't happen

Now you whine you need cuddlin'
When you're only worth slappin'

We hope you remember, in the 'morra when you wake
That drunk isn't you, you're were only a fake

You looked like a bloody idiot, for real - ridgey didge
And we've got the proof; it's displayed on the fridge

We hope you don't sleep, you ruined our night
And keep your mouth shut, 'cos it aint worth the fight

Next time you party, remember your mates
You behaved like a moron, and morons we hate

We love how you are, not plastered and loud
You sure made an impression, but you need not be proud

Drunken Fool!

    I've been there many times :) It took me until my late 40s to discover that it is better to drink 2 pints and act as if you had 9, than to drink 9 pints and try to act as if you've had just 2.

    Wow! I love this ... a well written poem! Alcoholism is not good ... but hanging around drunk people is not so fun either.
