How can I remain cheerful

How can I remain cheerful

so far from day and light?

But now I want to write

and I can't drink.

When she drew me to herself

no words were used.

Just as my tongue stopped then

So has my pen stopped now.

So then! I'll allow the barman

to continue to top up my glass.

I just say, "Remember"

and people immediately know what I want.
