Morning Drunk
Good morning to the morning drunk
Chirping birds, the flowers of life bloom
The day has begun, business ensues
Good morning to the morning drink
Breath as fresh as the morning skunk.
Last night’s slops swill in his belly
Regrets denied and placed aside
Get up to work- in a minute
The flowers of life continue to bloom
He hopes tonight returns real soon.
Good morning to the morning drunk
What of tomorrow? Too far away
First agenda face this day!
Business ensues without the booze
Until tonight; flowers close their petals.
