Introduction

A twist on the traditional "he's fishing at the lake getting drunk again" I'm not standing for it!

Drinking When He's At The Lake

I ask him gently where he's been
he looks and says
"flishing latta lake" then he grins

Fish, potatoes, carrots and greens
he leans in close
"dis ta besh flish I never seen"

Thank yous said- upstairs he goes
he turns and says
"yousta besh wifes aman could chose"

Boots are pulled off,socks,shirt,then pants
I lean in close
"yousta besh bet aghirl could chance"

I climb in bed, fold hands and pray-
"please help Me, stop
drinking,when he's down at the lake!"
