For Medicinal Purposes

A little worry, a little stress
A little relief was what I sought
And so I went with my best guess
And opened the single malt I bought.

A couple jiggers and feeling better
A couple more and now I'm fine.
Nerves all soothed by texted letter
A very good evening now is mine.

And I might wake up with my head a mess
But right now I just don't give a damn.
And if I don't make sense, then I digress
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

awww! what could possibly have given a big strong guy like you the jitters? tell me does single malt have any affect on your hearing GH? I never drank it myself so I have no idea...

AHA!....A very enjoyable read Gardenhackle, brought a smile, I dare not do it though, it leaves me with an awful hangover that usually lasts for about 3 days...Case of the cure being worse than the disease.....Well written, thankyou......Andrew
