the drunkards on the sidewalk

The drunkards on the sidewalk

In the dark of night they gathered

Drinking up their cheap toddy

They dream of faraway wealth

The decades down the slippery slope

They can't hang it on to be rescued

The addiction is way down their control

The eyes see but the minds are weak

They sit on the public walk way

They don't care what others think

They are drunk dreaming of their lives

The bottles of cheap toddy drowning their pain

The cheap toddy should be banned

Once they can't get their filled

They have to turn cold turkey

Maybe they will learn quickly
