Poem - My Mate Reality My Mate Reality

Reality's a great bloke when you're drunk.

Shakes you by the hand,
Has a laugh with you,
Invites you to the wild party he holds in your head...

But he can turn nasty when you're sober...

Gets violent,

Badmouths your thoughts,
Maybe smacks your dreams around
Or threatens you with a broken life.

Such a shame he's addicted to sobriety.
