Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
Crudely pinned, the walls all wear
Dozens of paintings; on the floor
In stripy dress a silent bear...
Mind dark and scattered –
Thoughts all over the place –
As if it mattered...
