Crapulence

Saw this great pic on Google+ 'Humourica'
Peel me a slice of chewing gum
I taste of last nights 'too much wine'
My head not speaking to my mind
Apart from that I’m feeling fine

The city lights that lifted me
now serve my morning after pain
I followed go-lights everywhere
To battle sunlight’s bright refrain

The shards are sharp and piercing
looking daggers as I wrangle
Slips and trips I muddle carelessly
Veiled in deep sleep’s tethered tangle

OXFORD DICTIONARY 

Origin:  mid 17th century: from late Latin crapulentus 'very drunk', from Latin crapula 'inebriation', from Greekkraipalē 'drunken headache'.
