Based On A Real Experience
I saw brown throw up on the floor.
Don't remember the night before.
I try to sit up and get the spins
Hold on to my bed but vertigo wins.
Tacos and tequila and chocolate pudding
On the floor, walls, bed, and me, all my doing.
Still drunk, head a-spinning, and I smell like ass
I crawl out of bed, clothe myself, and get to class.
Hour late and reeking of barf, booze, and pickled ham
I had no recollection later of even taking the exam.
Classmates told me later that I'd earned an A
But only 'cause I'd shit my Hanes on that day.
