Kisses Or Booze?

There was a venerable little lady by the name of Carrie Nation,

     Who crossed the country wielding an axe creating consternation!

Her mission was to ban demon rum from sea to shining sea,

     By busting bottles, barrels and kegs on her daring and righteous spree!

Her disciples, no raving beauts chanted: "Lips that touch liquor shall not touch ours!"

     Eliciting a reponse from the guys: "Boys! Bring on the beer and whiskey sours!"

From the looks of the ladies in Carrie Nation's photo, I'd be joining the boys and toasting to living without them. Very funny poem, Bob!! Love you, Carolyn
