Happy hour came and went,
and I am spent.

What does it all mean?

In the small hours
I devour what is sweet and sour

Leave behind the bitter coffee beans
Whiskeys in a deathtrap
Just before my nap

Ah the gap
Between you and I

What does it all mean?

It is what it is.
Somewhat bliss.

Thank you for having me.

To you I send my kindest of regards.
