Elixir-fixing Cure

Drinking early breakfast of a winner
though swigging cold beer can be draughty
but warming up with soothing scotch
preludes the act of sipping liquid lunch
top off the day with after-dinner shots.

Buzzing throughout each trying day
requires certain elixir-fixing cures
forgetting names and places been
then losing track of time that's lost
blame it on age and worn-out brain.

Those golden drops how sweet they are
a well-dressed señor has cracked a keg
no stifled flows or empty chalice
no tempered feelings of verve or zeal
passion's best with fermented zest.

Intoxicating, dapper, dashing
ethano~lenses make things look brighter
to see the world as a glass half-full
(given time good grapes can make fine wine)
growing old is simply aged perfection.

Drench evening thirst before retiring
the nagging wives continue bitching
naysayers claim drink is toxic waste
straights need to nip a taste of whiskey
to dissipate their foul dispositions.
