Ted Who Likes Drinking Alcohol Poem by Francis Duggan

Ted Who Likes Drinking Alcohol



He would like to quit drinking grog but his will is too weak
And his speech it is often quite slurred when he speak
With grog blossoms on his face on either cheek
His breath far too often of alcohol does reek
His wife Kate to her friends confides her husband Ted
Is not of much use nowadays to her and useless in bed
She has found herself a lover of which Ted is aware
But that does not bother him if her favors she share
His doctor advised him if you do not give alcohol away
In your forties among the departed you'll lay
But Ted loves the grog far more than he loves life
For it he has even sacrificed the love of his wife
Every-day he drinks whiskey and beer by the can
Perhaps he will not live to die as an old man.
