Old Time Sake Poem by Yiro Abari High

Old Time Sake



So you've learned it
That habit
Of wedging a smoking straw
Against those lips
Inhaling, exhaling

Now you have a chimney
In place of an oral sty
Darting from north to south
Oozing a toxic cloud

See now?
Just how messy are thou
Your bellows are now shrinking
Your longevity is ruined
For you it's no longer a win

With those clumsy lips
With those abhorrent heels
And satanic palms
The charm fizzles

Now your attraction and goodwill comes
Only from old time sake

It's a nasty habit. Even knowing what your poem says is entirely true, I haven't yet made myself quit. Reading things like this is good motivation though. Good truism

Thanks Mike. I was an alcoholic myself, but after falling ill I was told clinical drugs won't work with alcohol. I stopped and was able to carry on. There is always hope. Yiro
