it's just a bottle of beer, or is it?

by CJ Maleney   Aug 27, 2018


I bought two bottles of beer
I required neither
I took a glug from one
I gave the second away

I required neither!

Yet I finished the first.

Because it was there!

    Craig,
    What a nice little piece. as a drinker, I know the need to drink something just because its there.. Even if i dont need it. However i suppose i wouldnt have given the second away, I would have drank them both..

    Again, excellent little piece!

      Thank you,

      To be honest I normally wouldn't have given the other away, but after a mouthful of the first I thought I don't want this.

      Still drained the bottle though.

      Ah well!

      As I write this I actually have a beer in front of me, away from home again and waiting for food to arrive. I'll probably have another but that will be it as I'm so tired.

      I'm getting better I guess

      Regards

      Craig x
