First Time Drinking Leaves Me Sinking

Just one drink and I'd be down Acting like a foolish clown Since I've never had a drop I would stumble, I would plop Against walls and onto floors Whacking into hard wood doors Slurring speech and saying words That are coming out absurd Eating and making a mess BBQ sauce on my dress Making my friends laugh with glee At this different side of me They are glad to be seeing As I'm getting a warm feeling Down my leg I can't control Embarrassed to my very soul As the group at my friends table Tells me of their first drunk fable As we joke and laugh a lot Ordering another shot Till we're in our nice warm beds Safe at home with throbbing heads
