DENIAL IS NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT.

AMOIRE

When He was a beardless youth

He had an imaginary playmate

Who refused to play with him

But now he has a girlfriend

She is his salvation

And the mother of his bastard child at seventeen

He drinks too much because he is depressed

And he is depressed because he drinks too much

But he has played the game

And lived the lie

For so long it has become reality.

As long as he can consume

A six-pac of Bud

With his bud

And as long as he can lay on his back

With his hands folded behind his head

As long as he is done, but does not do

------Then he ain’t
