[hometext] => This fictional poem takes place in the year 1984.
[bodytext] => I can/'/t believe what the USA Government has done. They/'/ve raised the drinking age up to twenty-one. I just turned eighteen last week. Now I can/'/t get drunk and it/'/s bleak. Before I can buy any booze, I/'/ll have to wait three years. I really want some vodka, Jack Daniels and a keg of beer. Why did the government have to do what they did? It/'/s been my dream to be the town drunk since I was a kid. I bought a fake ID but the liquor store owner knows it/'/s phony. I told him that it/'/s genuine but he says that/'/s a lot of baloney. He just grabbed me and threw me out the door. It looks like I won/'/t get any booze at his store. I asked my uncle to buy me some beer. He got so angry that he boxed my ears. Now I can/'/t get plastered and that isn/'/t fun. I can/'/t get any booze until I turn twenty-one.
