I was drunk and left alone with my phone <br />And I thought you would be up so I texted. <br />And I texted again and the third revealed the purpose. <br />Phones should have a breathalyzer. <br />More than the permissible amount of alcohol <br />And an electric current should jolt your fingers into atrophy. <br />Maybe then we would not need to apologise when sober. <br />For being spookily like the stalkers we ignore <br />Who drunkenly text us.<br /><br />Clare McWilliams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drunken-text-date-written-04-02-2008/
