Dregs Of the Keg Of Excess

CEE

I can’t get mad at Andrew Sinclair, though
—that’d be the Brit historian—
As I recall going to pick up a friend
To go out for dinner, one time,
He’d partied the night before
Was still partying, when I got there, as
The keg of dead suds, wudn’t yet empty
I had to piss, so said drink what’s in hand,
We’ll leave, when I get out of the bathroom
Got back fast enough, and lo,
He’s tapped another cup
Of flat, lifeless piss water
From sad, dead keg
Which, is equivalent to most reaction
To the 18th Amendment
Which, proves what I believe:
Any excess, is inherently rebellion
Because, if I’d handed Buddyboy a gun
And said, “Don’t kill yourself, while I piss”,
He’d’ve obeyed,
Depressed, hurting, torn apart, broken
He wanted to live
Or, he wouldn’t have been sitting there
He wanted to drink
Like America
Hence, the underscore-bold-italics
Of booze as a guzzle-“Fuck You”
