A *hiccup* Sonnet

Booze is there to make it bearable,
Liquor’s there to dull the pain quicker.
So here’s a drink to shoo the angels away.

A *hiccup* Sonnet

Booze is there to make it bearable,
Liquor’s there to dull the pain quicker.
So here’s a drink to shoo the angels away.
And here’s a drink to give the demons their play.

Let this one be for all my friends –
Who guide the hand of this beer-brained-dozer,
And let this one be for all my family –
Who bear the crash of this rum-filled-saucer.

…And let the rest be for me…
…The more deservin’ of the three!
Because each drink is part of my down-payment,
For the part of life I’ll folly to call my rent.
…
So, there’s a drink for every affliction –
But what is there for this drunk’s deflection?
