Drink Poem by Mark R Slaughter

Drink



Dipsomaniac - his elbow
Resting on the bar: that man was
In the pub throughout his life. He
Never really stopped to think,
Knocking back the bloody drink.

It's rare to hear the word dipsomaniac - so much more poetic than alcoholic or drunk - to describe those sad souls for whom 'one drink' is not an option. Humor delivered poetically and with a serious message. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

He didn't have the wherewithall his heart to warm a cockle; Seeing life through the bottom of a bottle.A subject close to a real ale drinkers heart.But drink to remember, never to forget. Sid

Dipsomanic - flowery word for a bar fly.
