It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later!

A poem about booze

It’s the end of the year

And what a year that it was!

I nearly gave up on beer

Though I’ve sure missed the buzz

I got my mental health better

Though sometimes it’s boring

But my sheets are less wetter

When I’m comfortably snoring

I can now legally drive

At any hour of the day!

I may feel less alive

But I guess that’s ok

Wait, scratch that, not true!

I feel more alive than ever!

Turns out the gallons of booze

Dont make a dumb dumb more clever

It may seem like the case

Because your confidence soars

But you’re all over the place

When you’ve had 16 Coors

It may alleviate the stress

For a few fleeting hours

But I really must confess

I like remembering my showers!

And not needing to take them

Just to shake a hangover

And when I finally awake then

I’m not just rolling back over

It’s not goodbye forever

just I’ll see you less often

So that my future endeavors

Aren’t spent gagging and coughing

You have been a great friend

I’ll for sure give you that

But really in the end

You’ve made me sadder and fat

So, goodbye for now booze

I’ll for sure see you later

Like if we go on a cruise

Though my wife knows I’ll hate her
