Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Please, gimme a drink, mate, I wanna get drunk.
I gotta get wasted ‘til I fall down—kerplunk!
Forgetting my misery, if just for a while.
I’m feeling quite dizzy, but look at my smile.

I seek soothing solace in strange women’s arms.
I’ll turn up the humor while I turn on my charms.
I’ll bed 'em—not wed 'em—it helps me feel sane.
I’m drinking while thinking my life’s gone down the drain.

It’s often been said that the further away
a love—once removed—grows much fonder, each day.
But I gotta say that I truly do wonder...
does absinthe really cause aching hearts to grow fonder?

Yeah, I have some right here that I purchased over the Christmas holidays from Great Britain, Simon.
Never had it before, it's very bitter.
It's also illegal to sell in the US.
You can't sell absinthe but you can sell weed.
Go figure, lol.
Thanks so much again for reading!

Hey, Tony.
I purchased some from Great Britain over the holidays.
I'd never tasted it before--it's really bitter. It's even more sour than the lemons and limes I added to dress it up a bit.
It's got one helluva kick, too.
WHOA!
Thanks for checkin' this out, bro'
As always, I appreciate it!
Cheers!
