You are a loyal friend and without any frills <br />You take me to the grog house you introduce me <br />To the beautiful ladies I lose focus the romance <br />With my wife is all but over our marriage teethers <br />on the rocks of a divorce you've infected me with <br />A real bad smell we sleep in separate beds and it's <br />All thanks to you my loyal friend you care for me <br /> <br />You are a trusted buddy I rarely spend time at home <br />The nineteenth hole is my home from home I spend <br />Quality time in the watering hole and when I go home <br />My children spit in my face because you arouse my lust <br />My daughter is not safe in my drunken presence and <br />My son has to beat me to a pulp and I go down on my <br />Knees and when I'm sprawled like that on the sofa baby <br />That's when I earn my beautiful children's disrespect <br /> <br />Creditors have taken the furniture in the house <br />It was a real mess of a public joke I hid in the speakeasy <br />And you opened your glass jaws and you gave me the best <br />Of your long and lingering kisses and made me feel like I <br />Was in heaven I even managed to forget that I had nothing <br />In the bank until the taverners wife and her well mannered <br />Children started to howl at me and told me what a dog I was <br /> <br />You have betrayed me and deserted me <br />Today I am hobo the law has sent me packing out of the house <br />I am a plaything of the ghetto stout house wives point out <br />To me and tell their intrepid husbands to stay away from <br />The beer joints and the honky tonks on pain of their becoming <br />Figures of public scorn like me and they glare balefully at me <br />And they slam their doors in my face I hope you comprehend<br /><br />BrokenHeartPheko Motaung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-drunkard-s-tribute-to-drunkenness/
