My Papa’s Waltz

The whiskey on your breath
\n
\nCould make a small boy dizzy;
\n
But I hung on like death:
\n
Such waltzing was not easy.

The hand that held my wrist
\n
\nWas battered on one knuckle;
\n
\nAt every step you missed
\n
\nMy right ear scraped a buckle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You beat time on my head
\n
With a palm caked hard by dirt,
\n
Then waltzed me off to bed
\n
Still clinging to your shirt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
