In Full Swing

'Twas the night before Christmas And I had a thought, I fancied a drink So I opened the port. Time for a snifter Just one or two, But before long I'd had quite a few. I was now feeling festive I was really quite merry, But I'd finished the port So I opened the sherry. I was now in full swing And I wanted more, I reached for the brandy But crashed to the floor. I awoke Christmas morn, I'd somehow got to bed. But Santa had called, He'd left drums in my head. Entry for The Night Before Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May. 22/11/18. Placed=1st.
