Serves Him Right

triolet

The lighting, it was over-bright.
I threw the mirror at his chair
with his taunt, "You're out of sight."
The lighting, it was over-bright.
My eyes were shot; I was not tight;
I broke his jaw; I hit him square.
The lighting, it was over-bright.
I threw the mirror at his chair.

out of sight is a slang expression meaning
heavily intoxicated
