A Gilded Story
March 3, 2021
On the bed there sat man
Who had let it all go to his head
Now he can’t remember any dread.
His tunic slathered in multiple a stain,
He hoped the bottle would wipe away the pain,
On the floor it lay
Broken and in dismay
In front of the doors crowds sing in glory,
Hindsight will have to say it was a gilded story,
His pick which used to replenish,
Now only covers his biggest blemish
only 100 proof could take it away,
His eyes could show, clear as day
