Pal In a Tumbler

When the world disappoints When your friends let you down When the package’s too small When the aches won’t subside When the suds seem too dull When your choice show gets axed There’s always Bud Light or bourbon on ice Perhaps a Mai Tai Maybe some fine wine Cup of therapy You’ll have a pal in a tumbler That won’t fail you Won’t disappoint Your aide will pick you up off the floor Liquid chum and patch ***For David's Contest

Like the way you write but found out that life is always worse with the slightest bit of alcohol because it is an illusion on a bottle.
