They Watered Down The Vodka

They watered down the vodka
                             I barely got a buzz
I bet I’d pass the breath test 
                      If picked up by the fuzz

I’m checkin’ on the gin now
                        It’s tastin’ mighty thin
I guess they mixed that bathtub
            With “pond”, then poured it in

The shots ain’t hitten’ either
               The whiskey’s barely brown
I’m spendin’ my whole paycheck
                    And I’m about to drown

They watered down the vodka
                        And now, I gotta pee
The next time I’m a drinkin’
                         Here comes B.Y.O.B.

Enjoyed this piece. Had to look up BYOB. Honestly had no clue. Not a drinker. This was humorous. Thanks for sharing

I prefer wine, a glass at lunch. Used to drink hard liquor but stopped. Weak heart :)

clever and witty poem, Mike. You poem made me laugh. Plus, my husband always complains when we eat out and he orders a drink that always comes watered down...don't know why he continues to order them. We do eat at a pizza place where BYOB is on the menu. It's his favorite place :-) Appreciate the humor this evening. Hope you enjoy yours, Sara

Hello Mike, your boozy lament had me cracking up! The clever wordplay and rhymes make this poem a riot. From the "bathtub" gin to the whiskey "barely brown", your descriptions are hilarious. The punchline about B.Y.O.B. is the perfect comedic cap. You've bottled the essence of a great night gone awry - bravo for this intoxicatingly funny verse! - Blessings, Daniel
