A Night On the Tiles

A young lady from old Bordeaux,
Was drinking wine with great gusto,
She was at a wine fair
When the police stopped her there,
The breathalyzer blew up with one blow.

The gendarmes wouldn't let her walk home,
So she called a soldier friend on the phone,
He arrived in a tank
As drunk as a skank,
Now they both sit in the cells all alone.

Yes Jan, alchohol it is a problem in society. I guess when I think of something funny I just write it. I guess people can see what they want to in it but it was just meant to be a humorous piece,
