Wine
May 14, 2023
I can’t pretend this headache
Is a cold that’s coming on,
I’ve just looked in the kitchen
And can see the red wine’s gone.
I doubt that it evaporated,
Given how I feel,
I much more likely drank it all
Which means this headache’s real.
Oh evil tasty red delicious
Devils brew that’s you,
All lovely, smooth and teasing
What’s a thirsty girl to do??
But groping for my cup of tea
With dehydrated brain,
I know that come the next excuse
I’ll do it all again!
