Never trust a man who doesn’t drink
He is probably a righteous sort
A man who thinks he knows right from wrong
Some of them are good men
But in the name of goodness
They cause most of the suffering in the world
They are the judges
The meddlers
Never trust a man who refuses to get drunk
They are usually afraid of something deep down inside
Of themselves
You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself
They are either cowards or fools
Respect to JA Crumley
PS
Respect to all those killed in Paris by the righteous folks
