(Shannon, thanks for the crazy nights you Irish furry (bass tard) lol

99% proof...

(For my Irish friend Shannon, who taught me a drink is more than an excuse)

(It has infinite possibility depending on its use)

  

Broken stilts leave me halfway standing
The bottle broken, I mostly hold branding

  

Bartender betraying my trust till next week

I have but a black eye, & scrapes on my cheek

  

The band was hell, couldn't carry a tune to save their life

I tried to dance anyhow, with at least one wife

  

The biggest mistake was the kiss at the end of the song

Forgive me, but it was easy to see what I was up to, he shoulda known all along

  

I won't spread blame, such a time requires no shame.

  

Tomorrow, when I wake & come back clear of heart

They'll laugh & tell my story, filling in each blurry part

  

I can't resist a chance to raise a fist...

  

Against me, or friends I just met

I'll still show, regardless if I know, no time is ever the time for regret

  

Belittle the beggar who has a glass full

Give him sense, not cents, & give it all to the skull

  

Hard headed, trash bedded, still funny any time theirs a happy hour

Swallow the lemon slices each time expecting nothing sour

  

Live for the moment, if u have time to spare

Life doesn't demand anything, just forget moments that you didn't care.
