Same Again

As I look in the mirror, I’m a road map of lines My eyes are all bloodshot; it’s a sign of the times When did it happen, I really don’t know When more grey hairs than brown ones decided to grow My head is still pounding, Can’t remember last night And the bathroom bulb seems ever so bright I am aching all over and my throat feels quite rough But some bacon and eggs sorts me out soon enough An unhealthy lifestyle takes it's toll in due course Shapes a body well ravaged with much room for remorse I should heed the changes advised by my peers To add years to my life and life to my years I will fend off temptations that won’t let me be Find a way that results in a much fitter me I will get some fresh air; Rid my head of this fog (Then I might just pop in for a hair of the dog)

G'day chock... Oh yes; the good old hangover... the promise to never drink again... and the hair of the dog to calm the nerves. Your poem flowed nicely and carried the topic well. Thanks Chock- Lindsay
