man from Austin
there once was a man from Austin
who said “I no longer drink. it’s a toxin”
he stood his ground
til the whiskey went down
and rewrote his whole fuckin doctrinesomeone I adore
there once was someone I adore
that said “we can’t do this anymore”
one drink one grin
and I’m right back in
my morals tossed on the floor

Simply fantastic, Dru!
The meter may be a bit wonky, but your creative imagery, spot-on rhymes, and dancing rhythm make your efforts worthy a pound of Elvish Gold*
I really got a very good laugh out of your unique “Only You” sense-of-humor … especially, with L4 ‘n 5, Limerick 2. ; )))
