Step Zero
Hello, my name is Paul And my father is an alcoholic (hit the wall)
I dream of my father's death and it is still his problem (take a breath)
Hello my name is Paul And my mother is dead (hit the nail on the head)
Goodbye Dionysian wines of sun, Hedonistic Epicurean good clean fun (have a whine)
Goodbye my name was Paul I never had a problem with alcohol at all (hit the wall)
There may or may not be scope for a poem in there - too autobiographic for me.
AA meetings - not a bundle of fun. Seems they are a way of life for many. Now then, where's my next one? Ha ha Ha.
