Drinking Drunk
The Vodka burns less
Than the previous vodka
And so the long night drags on
The vodka burns a hole
In your perceived reality
Suddenly nothing seems real
The vodka tears a hole
In you self worth and sense of self
Until you don't know who you are
The Vodka tears a hole in your ego
Weakness and cowardus follows
Weak legs are broken pegs
The Vodka burns a hole in your finances
Until you have nothing of value left
Where is the next vodka coming from
The Vodka tears a hole so large
That any feeling you may have had
Are disolved in the Vodka
The vodka burns a hole
Day after daze filled day
Soon only the vodka remains

Vodka is among my favorite vices. Not nearly as harmful as some of the other vices that everyone has in one form or another, like religion or sugar, love lust and entertainment in a multitude of formats. Vodka will still be there to comfort, unlike many other vices that steal your health and soul and finances. (they all do.)

they do indeed gladly I am now only a mood driven drinker which means my love and need for vodka is always very temporary :-)))

They say, "All things in moderation", but then I seldom listen to they.
Wise words, David.

Bit by bit it consumes until it's the only thing left. Brilliant, my friend! I'd never make a very good drinker...too much of a lightweight. One sip, two sip, three sip...floor. Takes all the fun out of it if you can never make it past that first glass! :-)
Giggling hugs!! :-)
