Falling Down Drunk

A man had had far too much to drink
Now I must go home he began to think
He tried to stand up and fell to the floor
So he decided to crawl out of the door
Then after a little fresh air he tried again
But he fell face down in the drain again
“I will never get up” to himself he said
I won’t try again I’ll crawl home instead
His wife found him on the step asleep
“I went for a drink” he said like a sheep
“And I know what made you crawl so far
Your wheelchair's still in the public bar”
