All I Needed

i thought i'd lost my mojo

couldn't think of anything

to write

turns out

all i needed

was a coupla beers

i thought i had nothing

nothing else to say

thought i'd done my dash

when it was simple really

all i needed

was a coupla beers

i was hugging my couch

watching Tony Soprano

battle his scripted demons

having a quiet bevvy

all i needed

was a coupla beers

i fired up the barbie

grabbed the meat

from the fridge

cooked it just short of burnt

it's fuckin Australia day mate

and all i needed

was just a couple of beers

i'm not sober

i'm not drunk

i'm in that special zone

i've hit the piss high

and all i needed

was a coupla beers

the creative juices flow

and mix with

imbibed inebriants

malted hops and barley

a little bit of yeast and sugar

brewed and bottled

packaged and delivered

to my favourite vendor

of fine wines, spirits and ales.

because all i really need

is just a coupla beers
