Lovely Excuse (Rev.) 22.09.09 Poem by Margaret Alice

Alcohol may help the
brain-injured recover,
reducing adrenalin
reaching the cortex,
lessening inflammation

Thus I with an adrenaline
surplus should drink to calm
my nerves, need only remember
to stop before the situation
grows worse

A man who drank brake-fluid
had his life saved by drinking
copious amounts of whiskey
preventing his kidneys from
processing the life-
threatening fluid

My system might be prevented
from reacting to the allergy in
a similar way, what a lovely,
fool-proof excuse to partake
in Bacchanalian feasts!
