193. Alcohol

Who can deny the things we do
When alcohol takes control of our actions
To think that a few ounces of liquor or brew
Can eliminate inhibition and enhance our attraction
Regardless of what we see or read
About the dangers of drinking to excess
Just take a normal person on a Saturday night
And they’ll be doing things they won’t confess
We all enjoy the chance to escape
The stress and rigors of our day
So we visit the local bar or cupboard
And permit the “spirits” to come and play
For despite the things that could happen
Or what we’ll possibly say or do
We’ll drink and order another round
And gladly save a seat just for you
