The Drunk

The drunk When drunk he is expansive tell jokes Others find insulting give vent for his opinions That is not asked for; suddenly he is offended With what someone said and with drunken Dignity leaves. When he is sober, he much regrets what He had said the day before and walk In streets strange in the hope of not meeting Anyone he knows they will see him for what he is a rather modest, shy man who never Grasps it is what people prefer, his likeability and not the opinionated drunk with a bottle of beer in his hands.
