 the night was cold and black.
The wind ripped my cheeks
and pushed me into a ditch,
crying for the home I lost.

if not vodka it causes rejection
whoever is abstemious is screwed

Exclusively dead,
Inclusively acculturated.
Expanded populations,
Deafeningly silent
        in
alcoholic hazes
and destructive rages.

Who takes brain hits diabolic?
The child of an alcoholic!

Pain’s now in a box
Not flummoxed the kid can frolic

Larry the lamb loved to frolic,
While the others were quite melancholic,
He would stagger and amble,
Then leap up and gambol,
Like a totally smashed alcoholic!

Alcoholic Dance

Drunkard walking funny
Swaying to and fro.

‘Must be very windy’ 
Thinking to himself.

Drunkard walking funny
Worrying not to fall.

Absorbed in all his funk
Being all punch-drunk.

Life Drunk

Ebrious by today
Exhausted by yesterday
Embittered by tomorrow,
Give me one more,
Sip
Stride
Swing,
I am greedy for another,
Tot
Trial
Tribulation,
Bar me from life,
I am her alcoholic lover.

Dispensation of Conscience

will and conscience
curse on the golden serpent
labour pains poverty of minds
labor and hardships promise of
the destruction forty days of rain
thunder lightning and deluge white
dove he was an alcoholic

Premium Member Limerick For Saint Patrick's Day

A pre-alcoholic Irishman nearing the brink,
Was convinced by his wife he should go see a shrink.
And after only one session
He learned a valuable lesson,
He would much rather give up his wife than the drink.

Kid With Colic

Kid With Colic

Am a cute kid with case of the colic;
It made me so sad I became bucolic;
Testy have been,
Without a grin;
No wonder  my wife was an alcoholic.

One swallow does not a summer make;

But for an alcoholic, one swallow is often too much to take.

Kosher

the heart is not kosher
the mind is a carb
the blood is alcoholic. 
                              .i'm sick.
           .you're crazy.
intention is lazy
direction is hazy
lost in a mAzE I Owe U

Conversation On Crucifix

Conversation on crucifix
Sun in the eyes
Dying in the air
Of alcoholic steam
For the hopeless
monuments of the Future
Scattered through the civilizations,
Kills the religion
Quench the fire 
Hope for consolation,
Conversation on crucifix.

The legendary Johnny Cash
   Alcoholic, 'white trash'
His initials -- J.C. -- helped him
   Come all the way back

From drunken bouts
   Of Despair and Depression
This self-styled 'Man in Black'
   His Cadillac baritone so refreshin'

Premium Member Warrior For Justice

Here lies that warrior for justice, Ted Kennedy, a purebred
   He fought for the poor and neglected, the pundits all said...

Except the little inconvient truth of Chappaquiddick
   Exposed him as an alcoholic murderer -- and narcissistic

Alcoholic

Come unhinged
On a liquor binge
Face down in the snow
You’re the man
With drink in hand
The bar can’t make you go
That drink of wine 
Sure taste fine
You’ve never been so low
When you drink 
That’s what you think
For what reason
You don’t know
