Echos Of The Party Poem by Barry Van Allen

Drunks are hard enough to take,
but, the mean ones are the worst,
and even worse than that,
are the ones that don't remember,
... getting mean!

I don't begrudge a drink,
to anyone still thinking, they are thinking,
even to the point of ' Flat - out - silly ',
... as long as there's no driving!

I don't begrudge a drink,
to any one who's staying,
if it will stop them from filleting,
someone else!

I will be happy to get drinks,
for anyone who's able,
to play an instrument,
and entertain the masses,
and to put their stupid asses,
fast to sleep...
- - - including me!

Drunks are hard enough to take,
it is better when you're one of them,
... except for the next morning!
... except for the mid - morning!
... except for all those warnings,
that are followed by her - -
... ' Told You So ' s '!
