Drunk Without A Drink Poem by David Harris

Drunk Without A Drink

Rating: 5.0


They say about getting high
after having a drink too many.
I managed to get high
without participating in a drop.
I had a bad back, muscles twisted.
The meds they put me on
cured my back Ok,
but made me drunk as a skunk.
I staggered around the house,
my speech became slurred
and that was without even taking a drink,
unless spiked my water
without me knowing about it.
I had to use my walking stick
to stop me falling over.
Have stopped taking the meds,
I hope there is no hangover attached,
but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Well 'Been there...Done that'....I can only hope that the meds helped the back and just didn't mask what was there for you...and pray that when your finished with your drunken stooper meds that the pain doesn't come back for you....cause my last bought with the back never went away this time...seems I just have to deal with some days are better than others...but never FREE from pain...I pray that's not your case.....and yes instead of mumbling about your situation..you always manage to come up with the lighter side of things....I wish I has a quarter of your positive mind...: O)

Oh dear David, let's hope the drugs have eased the back and that the head is somewhere in a state of without pain but with some coherence to at least acknowledge that! (Hey.... you managed a good poem out of it so they can't be all that bad!) LOL! All the best to you and a happy 2008. HG: -) xx
