When a loser wins
At decision time
Tonic with vodka or gin
Lemon twist or lime
Left hand waves an unlit cigarette
The law caving craves
Vodka shot tonic with a lemon twist
Comes in over the choice of gin
Sip with the left now and wave with the right
Feet planted on wrung against forearms rail
A winning occasion tastes short of the line
Thirst in hindsight for the water back first
And
Time blows me by by each decision time
