Her name was Grace the best in the business
a saving angel to whom many confessed
yet one day she was feeling less than impressed
and decided that it was time to digress.
With sagging wings, cranky and tired
she knew that a drink was what she desired
this pick me up would make her feel inspired
yet ahead she went, knowing she may well get fired.
Just a wee one she thought as she entered the pub
"Line em up lad" she said, just whisky, no grub
"Are you a member?" he asked 'Of this fashionable club?"
"I'm a member of His club" she sighed, "There's the rub"
After a few sculls her wings sagged mighty low
"Where am I?" she asked, demanding to know
tossing back a few more her bravado did grow
and she shouted at Him up there about the work he bestowed.
"Ya give us too much!" she sobbed into her glass
"This job is too tough, I doubt I will last"
as another was tossed down her throat without class
and slowly she slid and fell flat on her arse!
She awoke with wings sagging and stumbled along
until God found her staggering, belting out a hymnsong
as he took her with Him telling her she'd done wrong
she sculled one last drink, which became her swan song.
