Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 No Longer My Excuse

I used to drink an awful lot,

Became an addiction for me,

And very handy when I sought

An excuse for the wreck I be.

Whenever so badly I stunk

At what I'd thought and what I'd done,

I would remind I was a drunk.

That's why I was the guilty one.

Just another crutch for drinking,

The victim role I would self cast.

Not at fault was my wrong thinking.

I got help, got sober at last.

Thinking and doing right, my aim.

Wrong drunk, I can no longer blame.
