Eerie, Beery Night
After one too many beers, in the wee hours of the night,
I whizzed around town in my motorbike, feeling light;
I zoomed into a dark side street and who or what did I meet
but potholes, like drunk hobos, recklessly crossing the street!
I ran over some of them, they fought back and muddied me,
made me swerve and splash into murky puddles I couldn't see.
I stopped to catch my breath on the black deserted highway
by my bike, the only one that stood by me, I should say;
but nastier than potholes, the asphalt was a different case,
it leaped and stood bolt upright and slammed hard against my face;
In a split-second eternity, I swam the eerie border
of the real and the unreal, this beery night to remember !
