Drink

I do not have the drink
Drink itself has me!
Controls me when I am  out of control
Reduces my stresses
It helps to forget you

I salute alcohol
And a million thanks to its inventor
Neither wine harmful nor me
Evil is your world
What is the purpose of life?
Work, husband, and stress!

Everyone treats me as a waiter
I was always ordered
Money has purchased my love,
The world of my care

He accepts me as I am
share my woe
He is in my blood
We can not live separately

I am in love with alcohol
And I respect its inventor

It's a very funny world. I liked this work a lot. We are all in debt to alcohol. It does have a very pleasing effect for those of us who can use it in moderation. What is life for? That is a decision each of us has to make. But I hope you will continue to write.
