Daddy & The Bottle
Daddy & The Bottle
Daddy & the bottle was an inseparable combo
it made him furious
often at ball games or plays he was a no-show
Daddy & the bottle hit me until I tasted blood
later he would hug me and tell me sorry
but I often wondered what I ever did
to deserve a visit from Daddy & the bottle
Daddy & the bottle kept getting fired
it made him steal to keep his power
he was the man of the house
so was the bottle I later found out
they was a couple no one competed with
not even Grams....he put her in the hospital
requiring several stitches
Daddy & the bottle wouldn't let me cry
so I kept it inside
For years he tried really to break up with the bottle
but they always got back together
just given the right situation
and I lost my dad over and over again
Daddy & the bottle or
Me & love.....who wins?
