Liquor and I



Why do people drink?
I wondered and pondered further
Some said to forget pain
Some others said to be kissed by happiness
Oh... I wanted both
So I tried too

I began with Vodka...
I hoped I would be freed from vicissitude
But the more I drank, the more votarist I became...

Then I tasted Beer
I wished it would wash away the bitterness.
But the more I drank, the more Teddy bearish you became...

Scotch Whisky is the solution I thought
I believed it would escort towards happiness.
But the more I drank, the more sweet you became...

Ah! Rum could be the ultimatum
I thought I would stop ruminating.
But the more I drank, the more rumpled I felt...

At least a Brandy?
I thought it would put an end to my boggle.
But the more I drank, the more blissful my love seemed...

Next came Gin
I expected that I would feel gingered up.
But the more I drank, the more gingerly I felt...

Finally, I tried Wine
I thought my whining would come to an end.
But the more I drank, the more I pined for you...

What is left now?
Tequila and Champagne?
Toddy of course...

But I think whatever I drink...
I cannot forget you.
After all, the more I drink, the more I think about you...


If you have given me tears of grief,
You have also given me tears of joy!
How can I forget that?
