Cool Water Poem by Mason Horsley

Cool Water

Rating: 5.0


When they first brewed that cool water
The sights they would have seen
Lambs right to the slaughter

The liquid to the author
The stuff will make him mean
When they first brewed that cool water

Give it to the daughter
Feels much like saline
Lambs right to the slaughter

Have some you'll adore her
Just make sure she's eighteen
When they first brewed that cool water

On the night he clawed her
He drank the bottle clean
Lambs right to the slaughter

A glass just for a quarter
Just don't become obscene
When they first brewed that cool water
Lambs right to the slaughter

Pass me a sip of that cool water
Gets me nice and numb
When I can't feel the pain
And can't hear the yells
I'm not the man people want me to be
People are not the people I want them to be
But I forget
And I live
So when I come home
I take a sip of that cool water
And I drift off to sleep

He's fine
I'm fine
He writes poems of the damn things
It's artistic
Oh, damn, VB, huh?
It's the first one I had with my old man
So you like the taste of yeast?
Yeah, what do you drink then?
Yeah, I usually go for the Carlton Dry
They any good?
Hey, it's your boys, Max and Chad here, drinking a few Pirate's Life
Do they have those at Liquorland?
Yeah, you're fine
Of course, I'm fine
You worked hard today, you deserve it
Damn straight
Don't worry, I'll have one for ya
Yeah, onya mate
You just said you drink to feel better?
Yeah?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Don't we all do things to feel better?
How'd you go last night?
I didn't end up having any
Oh, thought you would've gone through all six?
Nah, I didn't need em
You don't see anything wrong with that?
But I start work early every day?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
But it's not like I'm an alcoholic
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Some nights I just need to de-stress
You don't see anything wrong with that?
But you don't even drink?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
But you've only been drunk once?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Why do you think I'm rotten?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Why do you call me an alcoholic?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Because I drink vodka more than you?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Because I drink more beer than you?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Because I drink more whisky than you?
You don't see anything wrong with that?
Because I drink one night a week and you drink whenever there's a party?
You don't see anything wrong with that?

I am fine.

A truly self-aware poem.... the punchline... are you really telling me that you cannot see that our programming functions and codes are too different for us to have the same genealogy and system design... huh... don't tell me the bio-androids are already here and that I am a Cold Water Lamb Oo
