![]() I Don't Have a Drinking ProblemA Poem by Elton Camp![]() Curtis is in deep denial.![]() I Don’t Have a Drinking Problem By Elton Camp Curtis stayed too late at Kelly’s Bar again And was still woozy when work did begin He stalked into the office with head held high That he had a problem he intended to deny But in the middle of the room he took a stumble And it was flat in the floor that Curtis did tumble The boss came over with an indignant stare As he looked at Curtis as he was lying there “Man, I have warned you about this before Now get out and don’t come here anymore.” Curtis got to his feet, looked him in the eye And said, “What you suggest is just a lie.” “There’s not a single thing wrong with me As even a four-eyes like you should see.” As building security rushed him out the door He continued to rant and deny just as before Will Curtis get the help that he does need Or is it to the gutter his addiction will lead? © 2011 Elton Camp |
