Been drinking????

retrospect. rewind and think
you can't remember, can't find a link
of the days when you've had a drink
and had your mouth left with a stink

mid-sems over. wing treat. all the similar
all the times when you've been to the bar
sometimes near, sometimes far
when you've forgetten where you've left you car

everything feels ok, but you don't know
you can't even makeout a koel from a crow
and the whole world would see the freak show
everything still ok, the feeling doesn't go

the laughter rings all around
yours and the hound
nothings impossible, restricted or bound
you're Superman, he has been found

ya ya, this is bliss, ecstasy
fake moments of joy, you're happy
but you're volatile, very snappy
the words spoken are all crappy

the rot inside needs to get out
it does, with a bad taste in your mouth
now, the larynx is gone. no shout
the throat has grown a gout

sleep my baby, the time has come
before you prove yourself to be more dumb
music sounds like a background hum
the dayafter you'll be numb

hangover. headaches. and more
all of this after the snore
whole day is gone, at least the core
still your throat remains so sore

a drink a day keeps the doctor away
in the gutters you might lay
but its part most of us in the day
to drink and booze up fermented rye

the glasses cheer with a ring
we all find the time together to sing
we sway, we wobble, we swing
soberly enquire - 'Been drinking????'

inspiration from a drunk wingie, who couldn't even say how much he drank.
