MOONSHINE...

   Ok this is how it goes, at least to my best of knowledge
   First, I write, second, I edit & post, last but not least I post & edit
   What a bore. This time I'm gonna just let it fly...
   Old man winter has taken me hostage
    I've lost focus how, when, where & why
   All I do know for a fact
   For the first time in a long time, I'm shit faced!
   No jest, he picked me up & slammed me, in chains, across his shoulders.
   Cold heartened sum of a bitch.
   Swelling,  joint pain, so on & so on, winter claims me hostage
   I've no true friends,  I've chased all away
   My house is nothing more than a safe cavern to hibernate & lose my mind
   Certain people say "I've a bed, escape 'ol blue eyes, I'll be there, just come
   My marriage is full of pain & on occasion,  great
   I only make 700$ a month, my medicine, medicine that saves my life, cost over 300$ a month
   A marriage of 25yrs,  at least I know my boogeyman
   People expect me to lean on them, of course from a distance.
 It's sheer stupidity to leave my marriage for someone & place myself back in a similar situation
   I've made many friends in DUP, however,  I'm losing all in my battle with old man winter,
   Cold heartened sum of a bitch
   I bring the moonshine,  carefully concocted by my family for generations,  to my lip
   Eyes squeezed shut, I take the last pull
   The fire is in my belly,  my ulcer burns
   The room spins, I finally feel free
   Free to give blue balls to 'ol man winter
   I'm sorry for not commentating or posting the best of me
   In winter, I can only hold on & ask for dark redemption
   I FUCKING HATE WINTER
   I
   FUCKING
   HATE
   WINTER
   However
   I
   LOVE
   MY
   FAMILIES
   WINE
   OF OLD....
   AH YES, FAMILY MOONSHINE...
