Dip Your Cigar In Your Whisky

You say that you're drowning
Cos your good girl is gone
Gone with her makeup
and her swollen silicon

You're begging for pity
Well here is a plan
Dip your cigar in your whisky
And take it all like a man

You say that your world
Is falling apart
And you good girl's departure
Is eating your heart

You're collecting sorrow
in a black box of tears
You drown in your memories
And say nobody cares

Well I tell you I care
And here is my plan
Dip your cigar in your whisky
And take it all like a man

This poem has hard edges, I like it. Makes me think of Bill Clinton.
