Drink My Friend Drink
I Don't Mind If I Do
As I take this cold drink in my hand
Grasping it with my fingers
Lowering it slowly to my mouth
I see the golden colors sparkle in the light
My lips puckered
Waiting for the first sip
It is a reminder of all things sweet
Satisfying and refreshing
So enticing that one drink is never enough
When this one is finished there will be the next one waiting in line
Looking forward to the same positive reinforcement
Can I please have another ?
Why stop when I was having so much fun
My body now a little more laid back
My mind kind of distant
Relaxed and almost certain it is on break
Every thing and everyone is so mellow
Yes now I said it
Why don't we all just chill
One more drink pppplllease
My words begin to slur together
Gulp, gulp I just downed another
Now my back begins to slouch
My eyes are glazed
My tongue moves rapidly up and down
Independently and free
With a mind of it's own
My stomach begins to growl
owwe
I just bit my lip
Maybe I should have stopped after just one
Don't you think ?
Then again what if I never had a drink at all
Instead I just had a verbal highball
Just fancy words on the rocks
With my eyes barely open
Intoxicating
That was enough to put me right under the table
