It's a striking thing about life today
How keen we are to be indignant, pontificate.
When something bad happens we can't wait
To get on Facebook or Twitter and join the fray.

We can't rest until we've had our say,
Booming in the Voice of Reason our great
Insights, and slapping down the fools we hate
With logic and hilarious memes. We slay

Them endlessly, but somehow they don't die.
In fact, they have the cheek to claim they've won
And we're the fools! Neither side will admit
That reason's not the issue. I can see why:
If reason can't get the job done
We might need a harsher way to deal with it.

Fretful like wind in the chimney breast. Is the world still out there? I suppose. In some sense, somewhere. Guilty, bored, depressed. I couldn't be arsed getting dressed Or brush my hair. Between various meals I stare At the TV without interest. Let today be done. Sweep it away. Pointless guff. The hour has run. Nothing to say. Enough, enough.

A litre of cheap brandy coz why not? Been up since 4am and wrote till noon. I'd like to get to bed before too soon But first I'm going to have another shot And finish this before I lose the plot And put on Spotify and play a tune And sing along too loud like a buffoon And wish that I could do things I cannot. I'll stay up far too late - I know, I know - Grow maudlin as the brandy slips away And stick a post on Facebook I'll regret. But I don't mind; I'm going with the flow; It's been a quietly productive day - Come, Drunkenness, and wrap me in your net!
