Drinking all day of the week of the year <br />Is an alky's terrible curse you should fear <br />Then there's the week when they're not feeling well <br />They can't properly eat and their ankles will swell. <br /> <br />They can't remember a time they were free <br />From their yearning for Vodka or sweet G n'T <br />When they'd baulk at the mess that's under the bridge <br />Or the dread when there's no beer left in the fridge. <br /> <br />If you live with one then the curse is yours too <br />You might wish that you'd left the warm nest and just flew <br />Some will put up with it, Loyalty is strong <br />Or just leave them to it say goodbye and be gone. <br /> <br />Alcoholism is a terrible fate <br />It's an illness we know so before it's too late <br />Please be careful with the dirty booze <br />Because you have everything you love and own to lose. <br /> <br />Andrew Matthews <br />23/11/09 <br />17: 11pm<br /><br />Andrew Matthews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-alcoholics-curse/
