Just One Beer: Poem by Chris Leermakers

Just One Beer:



I've had it up to here
it's amounted to so much
strange noises in the distance
I'm starting to get fed up
hey tell me what's the answer
what's it all about?
frustration building in the air
in this dead end shout

Looks like it's that time again
can't even have a beer
can't stand it any longer
I've gotta get out of here

What do I want tonight?
I roll up in a dusty bar
and drink until I'm alright
then some dude
stumbles on over
he's looking for some bloody action, some violence
yeah looking for a fight
I can't even get happy?
so I'll just put him asleep
yeah right asleep
yeah nap time is very early
for him tonight

Looks like it's that time again
can't even have one Beer
can't stand It any longer
I've got to get out of here

So I get my head together
It's time to have some fun
I see someone selling trips
I promise me, just one
Soon enough, I'm tripping out
what brought me to this place?
seeing strangers all around me
and such an evil bunch of faces

Looks like it's that time again
can't even have just one beer
can't stand It any longer
just saw the cops outside
Yes, looking stronger
Yeah, now how am I going to get out'a here.....?
