Drunk As a Dog

Drunk as a Dog By Elton Camp Some similes don’t make much sense at all Like the intoxicated, “drunk as a dog” to call “Drunk as a skunk” is also heard all the time But I figure that is because of the nice rhyme A dog I’ve never once seen shop a whiskey store Likewise, one has never entered a saloon before Anyone ever seen a dog with a six-pack of beer? We sure don’t have anything like that around here Our old hound dogs all seem to get along just fine Without a slug of whiskey or even a sip of wine The dogs might well say it’s unfair to compare Them to the swaggering bipeds with so little hair But it might be well to keep old Brutus on a chain So that “sober as a judge,” your dog does remain It isn’t likely that he’d be accepted at the local AA And I never have heard of any groups called DDA
