A Right Charlie

He made passes at the ladies Drank much vodka, not just a swig Lost control of all composure Which included his crooked wig. --------------------------------------- Contest: Chastushka Me Sponsor: Dr. Ram Mehta Placed: 4th

The name given to the poem form is quite a tongue-twister, isn't it? I liked "A Right Charlie". Hugs, Julia, xx

Hi Carolyn! Glad you got a laugh out of this little witty poem; after all Chastushki are supposed to be ironic, sarcastic or witty. / Oh...I did not realize that a "Redneck Dictionary" existed...came in handy!! Thanks for stopping by...hugs // paul

This is smart and tutorial Paul. Its unwise to drink much and to love women just for lust. Makes me think how happy I am that I've never had a " one night stand " , but I am capable of " love at first sight."

Paul Callus
Date: 8/28/2014 8:34:00 AM

Thank you Justin. Too much drink can make laughing stocks out of us. I have never been able to understand why people become so dependable on drink or drugs to get what they want. Just being ourselves beats both. // paul
