Sour Grapes

My Tribute To:  A Loser   

Cometh hither and drink my sour grapes 
for it was  you that spoiled the taste with haste 
You took your sweet wine from vagrant apes 
who can't tell cheap from good oh what a waste 
Each night you went to the bar and got drunk 
spend every dollar we had on cheap wine 
You came home smelling like a pissing skunk 
down in the cellar you went there you pined 
I took my case and ran away from home 
to my mother who loved me from the start 
I left you penniless, drunk, and alone 
and I did this because you ripped my art... 
Cometh hither and drink your cheep red wine 
thanks to you,  I lost a fardel of time.

Fantastic, very loud and understood. Some people just don't get it. They have a good life and piss it away...just like a skunk. I could feel the emotions and the anger and the pain in this completely.
