MARRIED MAN HOME ALONE AT NIGHT
Soda crackers, sugar cookies, Mickey’s malt liquor
Almost as good as bourbon only you get sicker
Dough ball in the gut, diarrhea from the butt
Canker sores, dry lips and your eyelids shut
Is there any better way to pass the time?
Than thinking up a way to rhyme
Only if someone shared it
Even just a little bit
My missing spouse
She left the house
I
Guess
I’ll share it
With
My
Two dogs and cat
Problem is, they’ll get sick too, oh well
Time to pack it in; I’ve got it all down pat
And just before my wife came home
