When the Irishman is drunk he rhymes and chats,
and thinks of himself quite the chap,
but when he's sober and clears his head,
he finds in his skull a nebula has spread,
for an Irishman past intoxication,
is like any Man in full starvation.
Past the booze and into the haze,
his minds now moves in random pace,
thinking himself quite a Keats,
he announces himself full of feats,
and no longer wary of his station,
plunging fully into lofty conversation,
the Irishman now faces Hubris himself.
Hubris chastens and sorrows the mind,
and drink becomes the fellow's fine,
after binging for a while, the good man
ponders a many wile. The final conclusion
eludes him yet. For a ditch is now his
drunkard's bed.
