NaPoWriMo 2013 – Day 28 – The Hangover.

Today’s NaPoWriMo 2013 prompt was to do with colour. I did my best.

Enjoy.

…..

Too much wine to drink last night

Same old place again this morning

I’m feeling green around the gills

Bilious again, sick again

I never heed the warnings.

 

The banks been on yet one more time

Yes I know I’m in the red again

Forgive my temporary lack of funds

Stop calling me. Stop being a pain.

I’ll hit a purple patch soon I know

 

Burgundy always gives me a head

Washed down with rosé too

But I’ll soon be in the pink

Just an hour? Till I can think

These blues will surely pass

Or I could go back to bed?

 

Maybe a pint of orange juice

Will lead to restoration

A prairie oyster … maybe two

Will ease my banging head

Make me feel less dead

My black mood eased.

Get out of bed?

 

And finally I reawaken

Definitely feeling better

Those blues have gone

This guy is strong

What can I do today?

 

I shut the door. I’m leaving

Azure sky waits to meet me

White puffy clouds

I’m going out.

To the pub.

A glass of red, to greet me.
