Wine one too many
Last evening’s raucous party
Hangover likely
Need a cold shower
Then the neighbor’s lawnmower
And the leaf blower!
Loud racket rang in my ears
Minutes but it seemed like years
Out of bed jumped I
Heart rate fast blood pressure high
Mouth extremely dry
Need water right now
Sweat flowing down from my brow
Can’t focus somehow
Terrible morning
Head, legs, and arms are warring
Heart palpitating
Right then and there I promised
Quite serious to be honest
Never shall I drink again
Not just an empty refrain!
