Can\'t Argue With Sunrise by Stoumen

我又偷懒了, but so what, one can't argue with sunrise, and I have never intended to.



Yes sir we sure were drunk. Stanley

was drunkest of all sir. he couldn't walk

he was unconscious in a bedroom so two of us

took his arms and legs to carry him back to the ship.

Well sir we come to this tattowallah and

Well sir yes sir it was my idea. Anyway

the needle woke Stanley up he didn't object

he enjoyed it he just wanted to know

what the tattoo was going to be so



Sir we told him it was an anchor and a rose.

But sir soon's it was done we showed him a mirror.

and sir he laughed we all laughed

hysterical so we couldn't breathe. Stanley

was laughing most pounding his foot on the floor

laughing to bust his ass. So I don't see sir

why he's bringing charges against us now. --p.62-63, "CAN'T ARGUE WITH SUNRISE"
