My
mate has been staying with me,
His
partner treats him with hostility,
She
verbally picks on him like a bully
As
she is always intoxicated on brandy.
He’s
now opened his eyes to wisely see
That
she is just no-good for innocent he,
As
with her he’s not feeling any serenity
As
her abuse doesn’t make him happy.
He
believes in our Blessed Saviour
With
devout Roman Catholic fervour,
Inksy
is Christianly inclined to others
Treating
all as sisters and brothers.
He’s
often quoting Biblical passages,
Especially
New Testament verses.

DeleteAlcoholism is a disease and should be treated as such. People who suffer from it need all the support they can get. I hope your friend’s partner finds the help she needs.

Thank you for your understanding. Intoxication can become intolerable! Sadly she isn't seeking any help at the moment. I used to be an alcoholic, so have some empathy for her! Blessings to you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
