The Evil Elixir

He's up in the morning at 7 a.m. Black coffee and paper. Toast and jam His hair is perfection. His tie is secure He's ready to take on the day From home to the office, a 90 minute trip Dumbass drivers and cell phone quips Thoughts for the job that race through his head To help earn himself better pay A tiger by nine, he's doing just fine Then noon brings a lunch that's followed by wine From one until five he then starts to morph When it's off to the bar for some more A couple of shots with a beer back to boot Three hours later he's got a full snoot An illegal drive from the bar to his home Now he can really tie one on The morning sun shines on the man he should be The evening brings a change by degree The evil elixir turns man to a monster With all sense of sanity gone Rockman For the "Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde" contest by Yasmin Khan 7th place winner.
