Must Be An Earthquake

In the distance, a hazy skyline I see So close, yet so far to reach, for me On horizon, tall glassy structures and shapes As I try to focus, my open mouth gapes ‘Tis not a city that’s coming to view Its bottles of booze in white, brown and blue And I’m on the floor just starting to wake I fell off my stool, must be an earthquake Or maybe that last one was packing a punch I’m changing my diet, no more liquid lunch

Ha! Reminiscent of my poem 'The hangover'. I think we fellahs have all been there, done that, ruined a t shirt at some time. Great write, Mike. Regards, Viv
