Virgin

Heart’s a thumping senses reeling

Never had this kind of feeling

Faces ‘round me all a blur

Simple words I start to slur

Ground’s a moving up and down

Room’s a spinning round and round

Legs just won’t support my weight

How did I get in such a state?

One single drink was all it took

To get this poor boy on the hook

With all that whiskey wine and beer

It’s no surprise I’m feeling queer

And if I get up off this floor

Ain’t never gonna drink no more

Awww poor John. Your poems are always so witty, and guaranteed to put a smile on my face. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "I wound her up, an' I shifted down, an' I offered this prayer to my Lord: Said, God, get me back home to Houston alive, an' I won't drive a truck anymore..." - Steve Earle

Been there done that more

Been there done that more times than I care to remember (if I could remember) havn't drunk for over 30 years now, must have massacred the majority of my brain cells when I did drink though. Thanks for reading. Regards John
