Booze Alert

Booze Alert A drunk and his friend encountered a ghost Alarmed and surprised they struggled to stand One friend showed no fear and was known to boast Of withstanding demons who were his hosts The other friend freaked and stood in his track Don’t worry old sot for I have your back He took a deep breath and exhaled a BOO! The ghost shuttered once but it stood its ground The drunk not deterred prepared to resound The ghost liquified a hideous brew To startle the drunk, its tentacles grew He shouted the word, again and again The ghost disappeared with all its ooze He vanquished the ghost with just some BOO..ZE!

I had no idea it was that easy; just sling a little booze at any old ghost and it goes; how handy! I knew there was some good use for it.

Clever poem, Ralph. Enjoyed the way one friend feared the ghost, while the other stood up to it. Had to giggle when alcohol dispelled the ghost! Well done, my friend. Hugs, carolyn
