I’d like to propose a toast

And here’s to I!
The man who cannot deny
But thinks that he is really fine.
The man who doesn’t like to be
In the center of everything
But he couldn’t think of anything else
Like writing this poem about someone else.
I have to tell you, believe me, it’s true
He likes to work fifteen hours a day
But when he has a day off, or two,
He sleeps until one pm.
The man who doesn’t like
When people get drunk
But he has so much fun
At the weekend,
With a bottle of whisky per hour.
I’ll drink to him!

I’d like to propose a toast!
Here’s to the lawyers who never lie
It’s not that simple by the way
Defending rapists
And helping people to get divorced
Another trial and another
One worse than the other
They have to listen to all that terrible stuff
People do to each other
Layers remember that, think about it
And aren’t concerned about it at the same time
I’ll drink to the lawyers who stay in a good mood
To the lawyers who have time to play the guitar
And learn English very hard
I’ll drink to them, more than one drink.
I’d like to propose a toast!
Toast to the men who are married
Who live together with their wives in a house or flat
Who can’t meet their friends every time they want
Who can’t watch their favourite programmes and read papers whenever they want
Who can’t drink without permission
Who have to listen every day how lazy they are
Who are forced to work hard at home and get emaciated
Who have to be latino lovers at night after all day’s work
Who have to earn money for their wives clothes and shoes
Who have to tell their wives all day how pretty and clever they are
Who can’t tell the police about all that
Who can’t change their lives
Who can’t be free as birds
Who are prisoners of love
I drink to them!
I’d like to propose a toast!
Here’s to the ecologists who fight for a pure environment,
Protect nature,
Save different species of animals
And plants from dying out.
The ecologists working all over the world
And make us aware of the danger,
Of the world heading for a disaster.
I’ll drink to them.
