I wish I could drink like a lady
I can take one or two at the most
Three and I'm under the table
Four and I'm under the host
I can take one or two at the most
Three and I'm under the table
Four and I'm under the host

View profile & all 50 Poems / StoriesWhen I was young and bold and strong,Oh, right was right, and wrong was wrong!
My land is bare of chattering folk;The clouds are low along the ridges,
I think, no matter where you stray,That I shall go with you a way.
This level reach of blue is not my sea;Here are sweet waters, pretty in the sun,
Woman wants monogamy;Man delights in novelty.
