My Name Is What? (Whiskey by Orlo Newbould)

Middle finger right

Stuck up my nose

Middle finger left

Pulls her pantyhose.

 

Ring finger left

Suntan line

Ring finger right

Keeps perfect time.

 

A-OK fingertips

Pinch a quarter for the juke

Queasy fingers

Press on my throat gotta puke.

 

Uneasy soul

Sucks in my ribs

Smoke in my lungs

Cradles like a crib.

 

Up on my feet

To receive some attention

Down on her knees

Done away with pretention.

 

Whiskey drips

Drop drop on the floor

My mouth is full

Like the praying whore.

 

Brain is stuck

Can’t remember her name

Momma taught me right

Say thanks when I came.
