Tipsy Drunk Wobbling Home

Half Drunk Wobbling Home  (After visiting the Four Li's; Ziyun, Wei, and Nui, and Xianjue)�         Su Shi 1036-1101 Half sober, half drunk stop and ask the way, Lost amid bamboo thorns, cane tips, I teeter along. But finding cow terds I follow them, West, then again west, to my home by the cow pen..
