Jack 5

Drinking 20 pints regularly, done with consummate ease Add a bottle of vodka on top if you please Mixing beer, wine and spirits what a crazy thinker All the time believing I was a social drinker There is no one but me to blame So much behaviour laden with shame Throwing up in a public place Never a good look, a complete disgrace A time lived mainly in anger and lust Argue, get drunk then a pelvic thrust A continual cycle of adventure and thrills Shyness masked with a cloak of inebriated skills Any sort of drink a permanent extension of my hand Ejected from many places, even sometimes banned Often brash and extremely loud Looking back it doesn’t make me proud Stereotyped actor I no longer wanted to be Had to change if future years I wished to see No alcohol at all for 10 years now Those that knew me then can’t believe how
