It Happens |
When asked why he drank so much,
the man said that, years ago,
a witch had hidden his heart in a bottle
which one was unclear, and there was no other way to look.
When others lent a hand,
a few were done in by their livers.
When the rest saw he could not weep,
they drank until their lack could fill him.
