Poem
I had bought it as a future investment Just as I am getting ready to sell my house I have a Real Estate Agent I begin to pack all my belongings to move in my new pad The kids are all grown up and no longer hear them yell Hey Dad! I am getting thirsty, let me see what I have Lack of water can bring cramps to your calves I get out the Styrofoam cooler and a bag of ice cool down what I have here A case later, a headache like an overworked waiter, I am sick to learn I just drank the last of my Billy Beer So goes the investment I mentioned when I first started talking To the bathroom is the direction I am now walking Is this what happens when you have too much of a good thing? I held it until I made it to the bathroom, for I am potty trained I guess I will move to the harsher stuff by the way of Everclear That's what happens when you drink up all your Billy Beer At this point, I realize I am not going to move today The bed in the basement invites me to stay This bed brings me such a peace of mind When I pass out I can leave all my troubles behind As I close my eyes, the bed begins to spin like the house in the Wizard of Oz Then I begin to puke a solid stream projectile that ends up on all four walls I curse myself in the morning as I look in the mirror I see crushed, empty cans of stale Billy Beer It was literally flushed away after it served its purpose I decided not to move, instead I will just abandon everything and join the circus Maybe become a clown or a lion tamer A trapeze artist, I know about the insurance disclaimer The circus will be in town soon, that will bring everyone some cheer Being how they travel around state to state maybe they can tell me where to buy some more Billy Beer
