Four Bottles of Tears

Hello Jack...It been a long time
since I held you, close, and you stay.
Hello Jim, your wearing me thin,
‘cause I just can’t keep you away.

And then,
every sip that I take,
sure to keep me awake,
thinkin’ how lonely I’ve been. 

Hello George...Will you stay if you can,
Mr. Beam has gone and left me dry.
Hello John, just walk right on in
seeing you just makes me want to cry.

And then,
every sip that I take, 
sure to keep me awake,
thinkin’ how lonely I’ve been. 

Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, George Dickle, Johnny Walker

Very original and also quite compelling, Charles. So many people literally drown in this addiction. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
