The Days of Wine and Roses
The Days of Wine and Roses
The Days of Wine and Roses is a tale
of a woman who never drank at all
who took a drink once offered by a lover
and ended up the one caught in a trap.
The Days of Wine and Roses is a movie
of two people and their daily drinking binge
and how each lost control over liquor
so, day by day their lives just slid downhill.
The Days of Wine and Roses is a story
of how one man just says, I’ve had enough
and finds his life inside the rooms of AA
although his wife cannot quite buy the ‘’hype.”
The Days of Wine and Roses ends in sadness
where a woman has become a hopeless drunk
and a single parent’s fighting for the power
to “accept the things” he cannot change and live.
