"Capping The Well"

Capping The Well It was a long descent, but now I'm at the bottom of the well. The ride was long, the ride was fun but now I find there is no sun here, where other people fell. This well brimmed over long ago and welcomed everyone with cheer. I've started to think I need a drink; There is, no longer, comfort here. This well was full, long days ago, and I would drink here hard, and long. But time has passed; I've drunk my last, yet still I hear the siren's song. "Come with me man, come sing and dance and find your friends here dancing, too." And so I danced and sang and pranced; but now, there's nothing left to do. This well was full, long years ago, where new friends gathered every night. Alas, no longer friends I see; not wanting to stay here with me they all have taken flight. This well brimmed over 'pon a time and I was happy in my cups. I look into my future now and suddenly I don't know how I'm ever going to get back up. I look around this empty well; my face is mirrored on the wall. Looking upwards I can't see what hope is waiting there for me, for this is not a well at all. The walls are glass! My rope is gone! Did I not see it would be so? My friends have left and I, bereft, have nowhere else to go. This "well" is just a whiskey jug, and I, drawn in like moth to flame, crawled in here of my own free will. But now I'm being shown the bill. Regretting that I came. THE END.
