Drinking Again. by Ian Lewis Copestick

Drinking again

At 12 'O'Clock

The hangover too much to bear

And it's like a bear

Clawing at my skull

Crunching my nerve endings

So to the shop I go

Two hours later

Feeling better

Smoking a cigarette

That doesn't make me gag

Actually enjoying every drag

As the martini goes down

Of course

Sooner or later

It will catch up with me

But until then

I am feeling fine

Feeling better

One drink at a time
