He Woke Up
He woke up on the wrong side of life …one day…
Felt like nothing had ever gone well,
'twere the morning after the night before
...he had the headache from hell...
His poor noggin hurt like the devil
between his ears rang a large bell
Base drums beat a cacophony...that
threatened to take up the revel...
an atonal symphony...better
suited to bedevil.
All things being equal...he went back to bed
....marking the day as a loss...
tomorrow would be another day
... he'd try again ...then...

Indeed...I have only ever had one hangover...and had to go to work the next morning serving breakfast at a greasy spoon called, The Delice in Aspen...I think it was winter of 1964-65.
Learned my lesson the hard way, I did. Thanks for visiting... hugs, amigo...Ely

Re: Re. He Woke Up
My sympathies...you actually remember?
Not sure whether that is good luck or not...
I apparently made quite a display of myself...not remembering might just be merciful in my case. thanks for the visit...hugs, Ely

My first was enough to teach me
never to do that again
I came sorta close a couple of times...
good luck intervened... hugs, Ely

If I stick with one,
I'll have fun...
but if I drink any more...
I'm sure to feel poor... hugs, Ely

Time to take advantage of the night...moth fluttered by in silent flight...fly until the dawning light... hugs, Ely
