Serious Thinking

So! Archemedes said to Aristotle

What's in that brown paper covered bottle?

You know we heroes aren't supposed to drink,

What on earth will the big guy think?

Oh shut up you self-righteous little shite

I have been awake half my life

Trying to recall

What Newton said about the apple's fall.

I don't even know if it matters

All I know is that I'm f*****g shattered.

All this revered hero stuff is s**t

And I've just about had enough of it.

I only want to have a drink

Now go away and let me think!

I remember reading this one too, thinking; damn I think this dude is great.
And you are.
Cool way of talking about drinking and; what I can only assume is drinking too much, and making readers aware of it (and it's good/bad stuff) but not by preaching...
Again, I am doing this with little sleep (because that's just me... and I am still hyper) and tired eyes...
I only hope that I, a: never have to "drink to forget" (cause there will NEVER be enough booze in the world to help me there... or b: challenge you to a poetry write-off; hell you'd win hands down!
And so you should too!!! (And if I am being honest, a little of this is to get 5 points from you!! Sorry, but I guess points make prizes or something...)

[John Alexander McFadyen]
