Days of Wine And......

.....Roses, as the film says?!

Nope.....Water, says Fido!

 

He says - Orchi\'s coming out of the woodwork

Gonna let his hair down

Gonna fill up his syphon

Not with soda, but water

And pop round to ya

 

I admit I don\'t know much about that film

But it relates to alcohol use disorder

 

Dunno why ya complain about the water

Added to ya tipples

It only means the tipple will last longer

Ya won\'t have to pour so much

Out of the bottle each time

 

I have to add water anyway

Cos of one day KP hid it

She gave me tipples and got me tipsy

Then I said \'I do\'

Would never have said it otherwise!

One Halloween it was - when else?

She wore, not a scary mask

But a beautiful mask to deceive me

 

So we married

And me life\'s been downhill since

Days of Trout and Rosie

Not Cider with Rosie

 

You\'re waxing literary here Orchi, says Fido

Oh, it\'s about the only book I know

Though the line \'Days of Wine And Roses\'

Is also in a poem from 1896

 

Ooh, there\'s a song of it too, from 1962

By a crooner - Andy Williams

I\'d better sing or croon it then! Arrgghh!

Heehee - Got earplugs in?

 

I\'ve never been the same again

It all turned for the worse, you realise
