One
Two pegs
Three pegs down
Some tipsy, some sound
Party runs deep into night
Drinks abound more than a few more round
Fun , gaiety making the room go round
Mere acquaintances turning into bhais
Sex to philosophy , topics gradually change
A peg goes to floor many more in the gulp
Stray cigarettes burn and blacken the bed
Four,
Six, Eight
How count goes
As come pegs more
Slowly the drunk ones start
Falling senseless on bed and floor
Puking in bathroom starts in due time
Some people still sitting with pegs in hands
Finishing the bottle being their only aim
Unwavered , they have seen and done it all
True drunkards , who can hold their drinks
Few and far, do come such meetings around
The ones who can drink through the nights
Through the drinking decade I have spent
Such are the people I have treasured most
So
The verse
A heartfelt tribute
To the ones standing
The people who hold enough
The drinkers who keep party alive
Are too the ones who’re cleaning mess
The real heroes of every such spirited night
The true drunkards I respect,always hard to find
