by
contemporary standards
I’m alcoholic
no point challenging
assertions – I like a drink
nothing’s changed much in six decades
though I drink a lot less
it’s said I’m statistically
identifiable by a set
of behaviours dating back
to my teenage years
back when they called me a wowser
somewhere twixt cup
and lip those other laid-back buggers
must be incorrigible pisspots
if they’re still around...
