Notes About The Poem

I had too much Pastis tonight

Drunk

Have you ever been drunk,
and submersed in a funk,
as if trapped in a trunk 
but then asked to write junk 
in a poem which stunk
though your mind has been shrunk
by a psychotic monk
who’s been beaten punch-drunk
and if not a slam dunk
as a poet you’ll flunk?

I'm happy you laughed, Arthur... the rest I will leave to my imagination ;-)
