Once Too Many Times Poem by Matt Mondschein

I had one too many
A thousand would'nt be enough
Yesterday is gone
Today is a new day
Insanity! go away

I've accepted the things I can't change
If tragedy hits
Life is the pits
So don't turn to booze
You'll surely lose

I can't drown my sorrows
In booze no more
I'm gonna hit a meeting
Instead of a liquor store

I'm sick and tired of living in pain
Sick and tired of living in shame
I must change my ways
Before I go insane

So young lads
Please, don't tread on the rocks, I stumbled on
Don't be a boozer
Sure enough
You will be a loser
