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.

Thank you, M.L. , but it was a play on words BOO - BOOS - BOOZE

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
