Poem: The Drunk

Updated: May 31, 2021



There were two of us

She made six cups of tea


She wanted the bottle 

So she pulled a knife on me


Tripping up

Blaming my toys

Crying, sobs

Howling sad noise


Afternoon naps

That seemed to last forever

So instead I pretended

That we were playing together


Better hush now

Around the house

Don't make lions roar

Be quiet as a mouse


Mummy's not well

She's sick

Again


I'd better go hide 

And find my den
