Demon Drink

what, ho! what ho!
its time to go?
out in the snow?
the chilling glow?

its far too cold! 
im not too old
but chill my bones?
i say no!

the tavern is closed!
for cold winds blow!
my need for drink
will surely grow!

my will corrodes!
ill let a groan
a sip of whiskey
to warm my bones!

what ho! what ho!
my only foe!
gave me a show
and now i know!

the demon drink!
leave me alone! 
sickness grows! 
see you tomorrow!
