I drink when I think,
The gears of my mind clink,
But often my thoughts are thrown from the rink,
Even before I can blink,
Then the gamblers' money chinks and plinks,
It is me they seek to sink,
But I float in a sea of ink,
Of the scribe's trade I stink,
Girls say my words look pretty in pink,
But they're just searching for a loving link,
Striding toward adolescence's brink,
To marriage, to wealth, to fame, they slink,
The writer, I, have followed, followed, followed....
