Not Interested

She said she was not interested,
He left her with good grace;
She met up with another guy,
To have drinks in that place

But they got in an argument
And he fled from the fight:
She sat there, sullen, drinking
For a good bit of the night

She then approached the first guy, and said,
“You still wanna play?”
He said, “Yes, ma’am, I would,” and then
The two went on their way

He’d learned the lesson well, as have
So many other men —
If you cannot be “Mister Right”
Then be “Mister Right Then”

Have Some Wine

Have some wine, my friend. It’s good:
It might make you happy –
Just don’t drink so much that you
Go and get all sappy

Watch out for that dark-haired guy,
He’s your kind of cute:
I think that he’s trouble, though,
And engaged to boot

Have some wine, and so will I.
We’re both in our prime:
Friends who have each other’s backs
Having a
Good time

Quit

Quitting Time

I used to drink
But when I did
I said some awful stuff

So I decided
Just to quit
I thought I’d said enough

And given what
I knew about
The things that I’d been through

I thought to take depressants
Wasn’t
All that smart
To do
