he’s drunk again

            the whirling dervish

he’ll fall off that ladder
            hurtle down the stairs

the kaleidoscope of frenzy
            is all his own making
 
stay off the wine song
            stay off the whisky music

don’t let the dance
            tipsy and tipple you over
 
tomorrow you will be clean
            tomorrow you will be dry
tomorrow the colours
            will sober you up
 
they say tomorrow never comes
