I never remember holding a full drink.
My first look shows the level half-way down.
What next? Ration the rest, and try to think
Of higher things, until mine host comes round?

Someone will fill it. Well, I’ve tried that too.
You may get drunk, or dry half-hours may pass.
It seems to turn on where you are. Or who.
As Ohio seems to tighten … Pour yourself another one. I’ll be your designated blogger tonight (with over 200,000 visits already today).
