"Mornin Ralph"
~~~


You  wake  in  the  morning
your  face  a  fright
hollow  cheeks
and  your  gills  dead  white
Your  eyes  sunk  back
lost  without  a  trace
And  your  mouth
you  can't  describe  the  taste
Your  twisted  back
makes  your  stomach  sore
and  the  rolling  waves
engulf  the  bedroom  floor
  
When  you  bend  at  the  waist
to  groap  for  a  shoe
Up  comes  Ralph
with  some  of  last  nights  brew
You  hear  the  phone
as  it  starts  to  ring
and  you  make  a  beeline
for  the  big  white  thing
  
You  try  to  lie  back  down
but  you  get  back  up
then  you  crawl  and  shake
all  kinds  a  weard  stuff
You're  called  to  breakfast
it's  about  to  start
You  contemplate  death
as  your  next  resort
  
... You  swear ...
... you  take  an  oath ...
  YOU'LL  NEVER  DRINK  AGAIN  
  
HA  HA
... YAH  RIGHT ...
... next  week ...
  Hello  again!

A twisted poet can write about "just about" anything,
I suppose!
Vomit?  Where did this topic come from?
HAHAHA!
Got a laugh out of me anyway...
For this, I thank you!

Funny: yes
Subject: No
Love it: yes
Do this again: No way lol
Ps at a certain age you learn to avoid this, trust me lol.


 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Uggggh!  I am happy to say I have not met up with Ralph for a long long time...*L*

Clever...and definately entertaining...


 I love the time
and in between
the calm inside me
in the space
where I can breathe...

Those mornings can be brutal, can't they? It is amazing that they are not enough to make people quit drinking forever.....

I enjoy your style, Rex. You always bring a smile
