mr. alcohol
daddy used to go out late at night
when I asked where he was, he'd say
"I was with Marie Brizard."
I don't know why she hangs out with him
when he smells so funny.
daddy used to laugh with his best friend Scott
with a "tch" instead of a double "t"
theyd sit in the basement
and laugh until sunrise
but I've never met Scott.
daddy used to be a superhero
he'd drink fireballs for breakfast every morning
it said so on the bottle when i drank some once
i didn't like the way it tasted and it felt funny
daddy used to tell me that mommy had an
hourglass figure before the cancer took her
i guess he switched to a
shot glass instead
