I was drunk and left alone with my phone
And I thought you would be up so I texted.
And I texted again and the third revealed the purpose.
Phones should have a breathalyzer.
More than the permissible amount of alcohol
And an electric current should jolt your fingers into atrophy.
Maybe then we would not need to apologise when sober.
For being spookily like the stalkers we ignore
Who drunkenly text us.
