The whiskey on your breath (A)

Could make a small boy dizzy (B)

But I hung on like death (A)

Such waltzing was not easy (B)

We romped until the pans (C)

Slid from the kitchen shelf; (D)

My mother's countenance (E)

Could not unfrown itself. (D)

The hand that held my wrist (E)

Was battered on one knuckle; (F)

At every step you missed (E)

My right ear scraped a buckle. (F)

You beat time on my head (G)

With a palm caked hard by dirt, (H)

Then waltzed me off to bed (G)

Still clinging to your shirt. (H)

Images-

The whisky on your breathe. - Smell

Was battered on one knucke- Visual

My right ear scraped a buckle- Auditory

With a palm caked hard by dirt- Gustatory
