Proverbs 20:1 

20 Wine is a mocker and strong drink is a brawler;
whoever goes astray by them is not wise.

 

 

Alcoholic … observation

 

I am not what I know I am ... I can quit when I want too

My power to will is too strong ... and I have imagination

I decide my own destiny ... but why am I so helpless?

I want you guys to answer ... without any hesitation

 

You think I have it easy ... I don’t have what I want

I get no appreciation ... and I don’t like myself

People who take care of me ... never do much at all

They have me do all the chores ... and always by myself

 

On Holidays they drink around me ... and all I get is Pepsi

Some of them are like chimneys ... smoke comes out of their ears

I want to be free to get the same ... but I can’t get a job

because my health is failing ... and I live free down here
