From the bottle to the beer
From the garbled bubbles of infant communication-
To the loud vulgar words that spew today.

The baby is soaked in rosy dribbles and laughing for more with joyful shrieks of strawbabies.

Azure liquid thinned by pee and drool
Beckons a dinky passerby
Choked by grot collar
And ‘can I help you’ tie

While yet married to a dish
the spoon ran off with the fork
to elope into a knife
cut-throat marriage-
going feeding porkishly
at Las Vegas buffets
and drinking glass
after glass martinis and wine-
gambling the night away.
