An Ode to Drank

Problems around every turn

Family headed for the urn


When your worries tell you to fail

When life feels a bit like hell


Open up the fridge

And grab yourself an ale!


Breaking thru the paralyzing fear

Taking in stride society's leer


All you've gotta do

Is down the next beer.


Like an infant needing the coddle

I find myself staring down

The barrel of an empty bottle.
