Virgin

Heart’s a thumping, senses reeling
Never had this kind of feeling
Faces ‘round me all a blur
Simple words I start to slur
Ground’s a moving up and down
Room’s a spinning round and round
Legs just won’t support my weight
How'd I get in such a state?
One single drink was all it took
To get this poor boy on the hook
With all that whiskey wine and beer
It’s no surprise I’m feeling *****
And if I get up off this floor
Ain’t never gonna drink no more

LOL my boy went through that at 14 LOL. He was on a sleep over...they got into the airplane samples. He called us and kept us talkin to him till we figured out "something" was wrong. WE went to pick him up from his sleep over party & he ran from the house and threw himself on the cars back seat, groaning. "you don't have to punish me! I'm sick as a dog!" Light & Love PS please write dialect verse for my contest
