So Let Us Drink And Duck Poem by Ripper Jones

So let us drink and duck
Let's laugh and dodge
And talk of this and that and nothing
Fill our heads with music under scratches
Till the daylight sees our uncombed hair

Make love with a hangover whilst still drunk
Get up step over objects in curtained shadow
Drive her home in a rickety wreck
Still over the limit
Head thumping like Cassius Clay

The evening had been dedicated to Bacchus
Offering sacrifices to our favourite god
Now Venus has disappeared
Following Mr Moon who went an hour ago
Murky streets murky head
