'' Lifestyle Thief ''
What's wrong now,
They were angry and how,
Their lifestyle is all that matters,
They say I'm the cause of every row,
They're both as mad as hatters.
It's a social drink,
That's what they think,
They do it for fun and frolics,
It's to the depths the both of them sink,
They won't admit they are alcoholics,
They're in gainful employment,
They drink for enjoyment?
Their problems are not why they booze,
Soon they'll be looking for redeployment,
Their managers will not let them choose.
When sober they're great,
Me they never berate,
In fact, they're a great Mum and Dad,
Yet to hit the bottle they cannot wait,
Their indifference does drive me mad.
Now getting older,
It makes me smoulder,
To see them both fading away,
Good memories of them I keep in a folder,
Not many but I do have a say.
I've now been decked,
Their lives are wrecked,
Their bodies ravaged beyond repair,
All of it caused by self-neglect,
If only they'd took time to care.
Alcohol kills,
Far more than pills,
While illegal drugs make the headline news,
The adverts claim it's all spills and thrills,
As on the sidewalk another drunk spews.
Yes, it's a fact,
With poison it's packed,
Their fairy tales we need to debunk,
With their propaganda we are being attacked,
If it was safe you wouldn't get drunk.
I've never lied,
But although I cried,
Their passing gave me some relief,
Twas a blessing when both of them died,
Alcohol is a,
