The Drunkard

The Drunkard Great minds drink together I drink a little not that much I love my bottle more than any of my girlfriends Even my mother knows that I am a drunkard, a professional one I love to drink I have this kind of relationship with my bottle Forged for a long time... I am a drunkard, I drink a lot, and yes I do No woman can take me away from my bottle I drink, that’s what I was born for Let me sip and forget tomorrow For I am a drunkard, all I know is my bottle There is no betrayal in drinking This state I love, were I am at par with my soul Where I feel like I am the king of the world I am a drunkard; I dance sometimes when I am drunk I sing more than any choir when I am drunk I am a drunkard and I am in love with my bottle It will stay that way, until kingdom come For I am a drunkard and a professional one for that matter Written by Tawona Ranganawa
