Lasting Cheers He took a sip to better days For weeks, then months, they turned to years Of cheers to health and cheers to friends And cheers to drown the years of cheers... The last of cheers -- to last of cheers The bottle poured the final cheer It jeered at life, then cheered to drink, Then drown the cheers to death in beer The son, he sipped to better days While crying by his father's grave He cheered to have him back again A man that drank but never gave The last of cheers -- to last of cheers To skirts at bars, then fought with spouse He drove too fast for city streets He crashed into a corner house The son of son, now son of sun While crying by the grave of two He drank the bottle mother gave By lot of men he never knew The last of cheers are lasting cheers The boy became the wise of men He took the world by storm while dry He mapped his life with sober pen Always Lisa copyright July 4 2003 |

Hi Always Lisa! Very creative poem, which tells an interesting story. I enjoyed this a lot.  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... |

Thanks, Lady. Surprisingly, this poem has faired pretty well on another forum that isn't shy on skill. I thought that this slice of ham would be chopped to shreds here and there. I'm left to guess why it holds fair. Perhaps it will grow on me. Thanks for reading. Regards, Always Lisa |
