One-Trick-Pony

Oh, do tell what's on your Mind; Art thou weary of my rhymes? The only thing that I can do- The only form that's truly true- Against the grain to rub then grind? A nip of whisky... I am fine; It will kill me in due time. I smoke and smoke- My lungs are choked- The drugs are finer than your wines! Long I feel so left behind; Oh, dear Lord! Give me a sign! How New the Year- Abandon Fears- That "One Trick Pony" isn't mine!

Thanks, David. I was about half-drunk when I wrote it so I am surprised it came out as coherent as it did lol ;)
