I Think I Am Drunk Poem by Teacher Kevin

I Think I Am Drunk

When I entered this pub,
Everything was messy,
Ladies here appeared ill mannered
And their faces old for the job.
Painted in make ups,
Shorts skirts with slits,
Exposing bleached thighs

I pitied with men here,
Spending all their fortune
The music was loud
And the smoke was choking
I said to myself,
"Not more than one glass"

Suddenly, I have lost count,
Not only of glasses, but bottles,
And money to spend
My new language-
"Waiter, one more! "
I think I am Drunk.

Suddenly, all girls are young,
Their skin is tender,
And their moves seductive.
I suddenly, love their dressing
Now they are all beautiful.
I think I am Drunk.

Suddenly, I call on the DJ:
"DJ, increase the volume! "
And to the crowd of smokers,
I shout, "Puff it out! "
I think I am drunk.

Suddenly, I feel so rich,
I move from table to table
ordering waiters to add more drinks.
And when they hail me,
I throw cash at them.
I think I am drunk.

I've Drunk my all
And people have Drunk too
On my bill
I've lost my way,
I've lost my all
And my mind too
I think I am Drunk.

As I want to leave,
I face the barman,
My phone, jacket and car keys
held in custody —
Until I pay the debt.

I Think I Am Drunk
POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The poem is about how alcohol erodes judgment. It begins with restraint and moral distance, slides into reckless pleasure and false confidence, and ends with financial loss and embarrassment. It's both a lively narrative of a night in a bar and a cautionary reflection on how easily a person can be swept away by drink.
