I SPILL MOST OF IT

Father became a drinker when an early teen
And he's a drunk now and the years in between
In his time he has consumed every type of beverage
From meths to home brew resembling raw sewerage
He has helped many a publicans' child through public school
He has also funded publican's holidays like a fool
If he'd studied boozing at uni he'd have got his blue
But they didn't do a degree course in drinking special brew
Except for the DT's and the raging hangovers
Heart disease, cirrhosis, kidney failure and ulcers
He seems not to have been affected too seriously
Though he never buys drinks for friends when in company
