Drunk Woman

By Charles Lawrence

Sometimes I prefer the company of a drunk woman

Most of the time I prefer to be sober

But sometimes I don’t mind being a little drunk myself

The conversation seems more interesting

Maybe it’s the booze talking

Or maybe we’re all a little more interesting when we’re drunk

Maybe that’s why we go to parties

Everyone is a little drunk at parties

If someone recorded the conversations at parties

I think we might solve the world’s greatest problems

Of poverty, injustice, global warming

We might even cure a few diseases

“Hey Hank!  Good to see you. “

“You know, I think you’re you’re my new best friend”

“I was thinking about poverty in India”

“Why don’t they just create a computer program to solve that problem”

“You know, you have beautiful eyes.”

“Did anyone ever tell you that?”

“Did you go to Ohio State?”

“You look familiar”

Yes

Sometimes I prefer the company of a drunk woman
