I Am Not Ready To Go

Hey, bartender, pour me another drink alright? in fact, you'd better make that two because instead of going home and argue all night I'd rather sit here and chat with you. I really do enjoy being here you have a nice establishment your place is so warm and filled with cheer that I'm almost ready to start paying you rent. I'm not ready to go home as you can see because my home life is not all that good I'd like to thank you very much for being so kind I would stay here all night if I could. My kids are all disrespectful and lazy my wife will only argue or ignore me I had to find relief or go crazy thus being in here really does a lot for me. So bartender please pour me another shot better yet, make that a double give me what you consider the best you've got so that I can relax and drown my troubles. I see you constantly peeping at your clock yeah, its getting kinda late I know just give me one more of your scotch on the rocks because I'm really not ready to go.
