February: 453 DOUBT 15 September 2022

1
Why is it that you doubt
That I love Guinness Stout
I know it seems queer
I’ll never again drink beer
In abstention AA* members are devout
(My love for it remains even without)

2
I still have my moments of doubt
Something I never talk about
For to quote Robert Frost*
A road not taken’s forever lost
Yet I wonder what if I chose the other route
(Thinking about this can make me pout)
(But isn’t that what life’s really about)
