Learning From a Sot

No, I am not the local preacher,
Nor am I the children's teacher
For sure I am but a sot
But from me, you can learn a lot

When the moment came to choose
I thought the answer is in booze
Had I had a second chance
At least that could bring advance

Point your finger if you please
Look at me with eyes that freeze
Just make sure when you must choose
Going wrong will make you loose

Give me money for more wine
Let me forget this life of mine
But learn from me before you tread 
Full of thorns for sure, life's bed.
