The Goblin's Jewel Box 1

Tears where did you come from,
                                        
down my cheek and off with my thumb,
                              
I need a glass of soda and rum.
 
Why did you hurt me so,
                                                    
your leaving was such a low blow,
                                      
I hate that my crying will show.
 
I placed all my weeping into a golden box,
                          
I opened it and I found rocks,
                                           
Later I found jewels but were they all faux.
 
After all the crazy years,
                                                    
and all the glasses of beers,
                                              
I never thought you would leave me sobbing with tears.

I like this one. I paid no attention to the word beers, did not see it until I read your Author’s notes.
