It is late at night

And I want to write

But my mind is numb

Words refuse to come

Need to shake this blight

Must use all my might

Maybe I'll drink rum

Let cool spirits hum

As my mind takes flight

And I'm feeling tight

Realize I was dumb

Now I feel a drum

Liver now in fight

Eyes close to the light

Now my pen is mum

Not a good outcome
