Borderline Drunk

Borderline Drunk 
It has been a bad day driving around having
A coffee here and a diet coke there, 
The problem was I had been drinking the night 
Before and craving for more
Was filling my heads with excuses, the thought
 I deserve a drink.... do I merit to suffer?
It is evening now I’m watching Ellen this woman 
Who looks like Peter Pan, her audience is mostly 
Screaming females and I secretly adore her.
I’m nursing a beer and reflects on the illness of
Alcoholism the tragedy of those who cannot stop 
They have my sympathy, but I can’t tell them to 
Wait having a drink to after eight o’clock and
Drink a couple of beer.
