Cheers



I like to drink to mingle and relax
And forget about my life's small cracks
The pub breaks down a daily tedium
and thus provides a special medium
To socialize and get a little high
so easily done without a sigh
the only cost is a pricey beer
but the end result is a welcome cheer.

I am a semi-retired software developer and web-site designer, my verse compositions have been an enjoyable change of pace (no deadlines to face).
