No "Yes!"

'What happened last night?'

Those famous four words!

"Don't worry you did it again."

No! "Yes!"

Another mess!

Got Drunk

And acted the fool.

Woke up this morning felt sad,

Ashamed to call myself Dad!

My bed I swamped,

"It's a pool!"

I hurt the people I love.

Why is my life so tough?

Worthless, sad, pitiful and mad,

I need to change; my life is bad!

Drink and I have done it again!
