My first time drunk By jfarrell
My first time drunk
By jfarrell
I was 16 and it was the first, and worst, party I’d been to
“Bring a bottle”
4 turned up; 2 brought bottles of whiskey; 0 drinks whiskey.
Well, I’m buggered if I’m wasting ten quid.
A minute ago I was teetotal,
Now, I’m a whisky drinker.
For four hours, the four of us
Sang along and headbanged to “Yellow Submarine”
Whilst I drank the whiskey.
As I drained the last I exclaimed
“Damn! 2 bottles of whiskey. Can I take my drink or what?”
Then collapsed on the floor.
Awake, but unable to move or speak
Just hope nothing bad happens
Now, that’s getting paralytically drunk, for real.
Scared I might vomit,
My ‘friends’ put me in the garden, for fresh air
And forgot about me.
Some hours later
Someone sees a body dumped in the garden
And all sigh in relief, it’s just me.
You’d think there’d be something to learn from that;
Some lesson about the folly of drinking.
But, I was a drunk, long before I discovered alcohol.
