A Plea for Hedonism

The Coalition of the Silly
has issued the following decree
written on the back
of a used 
no longer sanitary napkin

Not meant to be taken seriously
like everything else seems to be
these dwindling grim days
"Bibo ergo sum"

Translated from the Latin
my inebriated friends
"I drink therefore I am"

This of course flows
as the logical corollary
from the more celebrated
Latin phrase "Carpe Diem"
dropped by modern
quasi philosophers
forever seizing the night
looking to get laid
by impressed lassies
desperately seeking intellect

Yes my dying friends

Moderation be damned

Pour another round of cheer

A toast
for all the wasted pilgrims
assembled here 

As we collectively
curse last call inevitability
and the blasted hangover attached
for we foolish courageous souls
who dare live life to the max

One last
pro hedonism rationalization
rhyme bromide
to be spilled applied
before the bored bouncer
throws me out of here

Grab that frickin brass ring
before the bell tolls for thee 

Gotta go
