I woke up this morning
hugging the toilet
I think I had been drinking
I could tell by the vomit
I suppose this is what they mean
by "you make me sick"
I may have been borne sober
doesn't mean I have to stay that way
a toast to you, me, and the vomit
a morning cocktail
sweet, fruity,
full of forgetfullness
let's talk of love and tonic
with a splash or more of gin
your smile means so much more
through an alcoholic haze.
