'Twirling Time Machine'

By soosoncrack

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Yesterday I went backwards without a "time machine" And I must admit it was really quite a scene At my age I surely know one thing I should'nt do Before I eat my breakfast I should'nt be drinking brew But my Nephew came by full of vim and vigor I moronically joined him and started guzzling liquor I then proceeded with him to a flea-bag Motel room Where three "bong-hits" I did blaze and everything started to zoom First came the "spins" I had'nt had these in years Next came all the sweating off my skin like elephant tears Then I had to lay down he'd never seen me this way He got awful worried and said "Hey Uncle are you OK?" Yeah,I'm OK was my weak and stoned reply Just as the wet mouth and Mr. Nausea stopped by I proceeded to vomit nothing but the Beer For I had not eaten of course it would be clear Embarrassment joined in to the sick feelings of the hour I could'nt arise from the vomit to change clothes and take a shower Face down in puke my self-esteem a wiltin' Only solace in one thought at least I was'nt at the "Hilton" eak ©1999 Written October 14th, 2001 © on Oct 14 2001 08:46 AM PST   0 • 14
