however...

It seems I'm too sober to sing
So instead I guess I'll write
About beloathed back breaking burdens
Or perhaps a darling parasite

Some of my work can seem dark
But there are a few I'd call cheerful
Just don't expect me to sing
Unless I'm exceptionally beer-full

I'm told my humour is... unique
But I don't think that a curse
And I swear I was stone cold sober
When I thought up every verse

I cannot play the guitar
But at times I have played the fool
What I can do is write poems
But some of the rhymes are awful

I'm told that I have some talent
Indeed people often praise my verse
But the thing I find most odd
Is when they didn't even read it first!

So enjoy this light hearted ramble
I thank you for hearing me out
Now barkeep pour me a pint please
Don't make me have to shout!
