My Good Friend Jack

He is a good friend that old Jack
He's the only one that stays around
He listens to my woes and sorrows
He stays around until I pass out
He creeps out silently when I do

He gives me peace when I am manic
He gets me manic when I am at peace
He follows me everywhere 
He lingers on my breath

Its not until I finish Jack
That I get to know his brother Jim
       Because Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
       Are the only ones who understand me


*I do enjoy whisky but I'm not an alcoholic! lol.
