A Big Rowdy Drunk

There once was a prizefighting cop named Mick Whose two fists flew furiously quick He saw a big rowdy drunk Whose awful breath really stunk Mick flashed his badge, then took out his nightstick But that drunk was truly a great poet And his whiskey-fueled lips really showed it: "Hey, cop, watch my lips As I rotate my hips ~ You're a mite light, and everyone knows it"

Hmmmm Sounds to me like that drunk was just begging for that nightstick right up side the head. And then to top it off to wake up in the pokey. Nice job Gershon. God Bless, JB

Sounds like you've 1/2 a story in your comment, my friend: … So, when Rowdy woke up in the pokey, Sheriff Gumby was staring a hole in his night-cloaky… (Groan?!) :) gw

Ha, ha. ---And now you're going to tell me that you write your poetry drunk or stoned, right?! LOL... I know when my leg's being pulled, my friend --- and hard! But please know that I value and love these comments just as much as the praise-ful ones. Thanks! Cheers, Gershon
