Jerry the Joker

Everyone laughs
at Jerry's crude jokes
He's a regular guy
a bar-tending bloke

But never ever joke
that his mum's soon to croak
Jerry's fists will soon find you
~ You won't be saved by the bell

The two sides of Jerry...one “punch” leads to another! As a college student, my brother left the bar with friends but then was all alone. He was robbed and beaten badly...ended up the hospital. I was away from home and didn’t find out about it until sometime after he recovered. That crazy “juice” scary!

Comment of the day, Kim! i.e., 'the two sides of Jerry...one punch leads to another.' Here's to punch drunk from the bowl---not felt in the jaw!... Thank you and best wishes, gw
