A Conversation on Drinking
A True Poem
Two different people
One drunk, one sober
And a conversation that happens
From the beginning until it’s over
What worries or problems are to be had?
Nothing can bother me
Nor make me sad
Life’s problems, seem less impactful
As I enjoy these libations
My problems take a back seat
Goodbye stresses and frustrations
But this isn’t the answer to those problems!
Tomorrow they will still be there
This does not solve them
Of this you HAVE to be aware!?
Calm down my friend
What do you know?
You ruin a relaxing fun evening
With your judgmental comments in tow
No judgment here, simply pointing out facts
Whatever alcohol offers to you
What it gives, it WILL get back
With time, this becomes more obvious
Partners, friends, money
Those around will grow tired of this
What started benign, will no longer be funny
