I drank when first he knew me
and he drank not at all.
Now I find through drinking
that he is going to the wall.

Bloody big difference between a one rum and a three rum performance Marty

Cheers mate.

That's a wonderful piece of writing Marty and so real and true. Some local papers have a 'readers write' type section. That would be a great poem to put out into the community.
