The thing about thinking
is it never shuts off -
the thing about drinking
some people will scoff -
The perspective of artists
with their shadows and light –
find respectable drinking
happens only at night.
Poets are different
they are careful to choose –
When they see a thesaurus
They head for the booze.
Can’t have them around
with their rhyming percussion –
They'd rather be found
with a little Black Russian.
Let it say on their grave
when they hit the wall –
They were nice, they were brave
right up to last call.
