The throttle

One hand on the bottle. The other on the throttle. Take a pull. Take a Drag. Have a smoke. It's called a fag. Wake up lonely. Slept in the chair. Tvs on. But no ones there. Head keeps pounding. Pounding. Pounding. Time for a drink. Sit and think. Smoke a smoke. Tell a joke. Take a sip, to your lip. Rense repeat. One hand on the bottle. The other on the throttle.
