Sitting by the window in the hall,
After a long time I witnessed the sun fall.
The day ended,
Though I didn't feel tired,
As I was fired.
With my past gone and present bleak,
I felt as if I was dropped from a peak.
So I started to think,
And I felt the need for a drink.
So I went for the vodka in the racks,
And for some ice to have it on the rocks.
Pouring out the colourless elixir,
I took the spirit as healing dose,
And found my spirits rose.
Thoughts of my lady came,
Alas she left me due to a fight,
But she used to say
'2 pegs are enough for a night'.
Now that she is here no more
For me to beg,
I said myself 'one more peg'.
Television was on,
And I browsed for sports first,
Which was the least worst.
To the dismay I saw my nation lose,
With the clips of fans shouting boos.
I kicked the near by keg,
And said myself 'one more peg'.
I forgave the team,
And changed the screen with remote beam.
A fair lady was talking,
With people behind her running and firing.
Shouts and screams were shown,
And the language for me was unknown.
The report ended showing a bleeding leg,
And I said myself 'one more peg'.
Switching off the Tv and keeping the remote,
My eyes caught a file,
Which was on the table for a long while.
The bills and report gave me a shiver,
As the doctor has diagnosed a cancer in my liver.
Thus for my health,
Again I said myself 'one more peg'.
Sorrows and memories were displaced,
As peg after peg came and replaced.
A feeling came over my guilty,
And I was about to defy gravity.
But suddenly I coughed blood,
And fell into an abyss and drowned in a flood.
Trying to shout 'help'
I got up with sweat,
And my pajamas were wet.
The vodka twinkled besides my lady again,
And thus asked her in vain,'One more peg'!!!!
