47. The Conference Too

I woke up this morning
With a terrible ache
My head splitting from ear to ear

Last night was just a blur
Vodka, tonic, and shooters galore
The floodgates opened by the first beer

I ate way too much in excess
Pizza, steak, shrimp, and sushi too
A cornucopia of delights for my belly

My spirits were wild and exploding with fun
My sleep was awakened by misguided thirst
My brain is mush my mind is jelly

I try to stay focused without much success
My head beating louder than drums
If I really needed to learn I would surely fall short

I scribble some notes without much affect
My cursive writing a carbon copy of my speech
Guess its better to be here than a DUI court
