Ted Sheridan - Corked

Since I quit drinking adult beverages...
My dreams are no longer contained
To the colors of rum and coke or Irish whiskey
I clearly see the full spectrum of my possibilities
Understated as they always were
But now fully capable of quenching my thirst
For achievement instead of intoxicating realms of failure
Where I would always have one drink for the road
And one more to take me home and tuck me in….
