Too Much Ale
The weather it would seem has a total disregard
For how I shall traverse this fog and uneven street
My unsteady gait already hinders, makes it hard
Then you mock my blurry vision and my erratic feet
If not for the thin and sturdy friend which I have met
Who helps prop up my posture while I get my bearing
Thank you, kind sir, for your services I am in your debt
Perhaps I did not think what overindulgence might bring
No matter now the deed is done and I long for my bed
So, on I shall stumble into this surreal scene from hell
Struggling against the night’s fog and the fog in my head
My adventure home shall be quite the tale for me to tell
On wobbly legs I shall follow the logic of my sloshy brain
And watch my footsteps for they shall lead me onward
But alas they have led me to ground and brought me pain
As I lay here my only thought is that I surely must look absurd

Takes me back to younger days and wending my uncertain yet
accurate way home along busy London highways after a party
or other celebration in the distant past. Usually the outcome of
mixing drinks. Bad choice!
