Addicted To Drinking
In his youth, he loved to drink beer
As the years passed, he discovered liquor
He drank and drank, without any fear
Even when he had to talk to the bailer
His family tried their best to stop his drinking
Leaving him alone and without his relations
Hoping there would be more time for thinking
And maybe he would remember his lessons
Nothing they did ever stopped his taste for booze
In spite of the many problems that came around
And even though he had plenty he would lose
His drinking was so well known it was renowned
Finally, on a dark and dismal night in June
He lay alone and answered the call of death
It was his time even though he thought he was immune
To the time that had come when he lost his last breath
