The Plastered Painter

The painter drank with no restraint 
Quite drunk with his mind askew
Survived the trip back to his flat
And then stumbled off to the loo

Looking for relief in head and hand
Which proved to be quite daunting
He grabbed sleeping pills instead,
Of the aspirin he was wanting

Paint on walls, the ceiling, a chair
In his hair and behind his ears
It was quite the sordid affair
He then gave up drinking for years!
