I Am Sober

I am sober because I don't drink Rational thoughts I will always think, Never will you see an alcoholic drink in my hand Nor, will you see me swagger when I walk or stand. In my armor there is no abusive drinking clink. At a party I will never give a drunken wink Nor never will I throw up in anyone’s bathroom sink, And no stupid intoxicated remarks or requests will I ever demand. As I am sober. From drinking my mind won't forget and my body won't stink Never will I be asked to walk a straight line or end up at a police precinct, My kidneys won't hurt me because of having a full gland And my actions and my moods won’t be inebriated, but planned. My mind! and not a bartender or priest will be my only shrink. As I am sober. Randy L. McClave
