THE DRINKER’S PRAYER, by Ken Gill

Dear Lord – don’t let me be shifted

‘Til at least

Six more pints I have lifted.

Let me carry on proving 

That at draught beer removing,

I’m really exceptionally gifted!

 

This imbibing, for me, is a must.

I don’t care if I swell up and bust,

And if I become alcoholic

Or develop the cholic

Well – there’s no need to kick up a fuss.

 

For there’s one thing

That makes it alright,

I’m alive and I’m shining tonight.

 

(But tomorrow!!! Oh God, what a sight.)
