2:00 Am

2:00 AM One last drink A glass half filled with ice Golden liquid with the bite of a dragon That glass has destroyed a million dreams It has made even the lamest idea sound like genius It has made even the nicest man curse I was warned about starting a drink at 2:00 AM It is always the strongest of the night You may never know what you did You may end up in bed with what’s her name You may just end up in jail for the night There is one thing that every man has taught me One piece of wisdom that has saved the planet If you are in a crowded bar look carefully at the clock Study the hands and where they are Beware the hour of two Order your last drink before the cock crows twice You may survive the night You may not remember what happened You may still end up in jail But just remember what I say Nothing good ever happens after 2:00 AM
