Venom Sotol

Venom Sotol

By R.e. Taylor

Works done for the week

My paycheck’s burning my pocket

I know I won’t have enough

I never do

So, it’s time to hit the bar

Jack and Johnny aren’t enough

Not tonight

I need a bottle of something stronger

Something they keep hidden in the back

A drink that you shouldn’t ever drink

But, that ain’t going to stop me

I want every drop in the bottle

And that girl dancing over by the badasses

Shot after shot I finish it

I even ate the snake inside

Everything went black and I forgot everything

I woke up with a snake tail hanging out of my mouth

And I didn’t know how it got there

Damn, those Mexicans know ow to party

But, I never did get that girl
