Five am and my mind is clear as a cold drink of purified water <br />Which is a first for me because the only water I ever drank <br />Came from melted ice cubes in a drink of distilled rum <br />However, I've noticed something of late and I thought it just might <br />Help anyone who is considering giving up the booze to know <br />Now that my demons are all sober <br />They're kicking the crap out of my Bukowski.... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fighting-miss-daisy/
