Natalie The Rogue Rhymer Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Pal In a Tumbler

When the world disappoints
When your friends let you down
When the package’s too small
When the aches won’t subside
When the suds seem too dull
When your choice show gets axed

There’s always Bud Light
or bourbon on ice
Perhaps a Mai Tai
Maybe some fine wine
Cup of therapy

You’ll have a pal
in a tumbler
That won’t fail you
Won’t disappoint

Your aide will
pick you up
off the floor

Liquid 
chum and

patch

Michael Smith July 15, 2012 at 8:16 PM Like the way you write but found out that life is always worse with the slightest bit of alcohol because it is an illusion on a bottle.
