Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Oktoberfest

Stopped at an Oktoberfest
Just to catch the scene -
Big steins of beer, a German band,
Appropriate cuisine.

Some lederhosen wearers
Did compete at beanbag toss,
Then swigged their pilsners cheerfully
With every win or loss.

The port-a-potties waited
With a needed job to fill,
For after every jumbo stein,
I guess you know the drill.

We only stayed a while
On this bright day in Oktober
For I think it would be much more fun
To patrons not quite sober.

Jan Allison October 6, 2019 at 4:58 PM I had to giggle at the port a potties stanza that really made me smile, glad you had a fun time at the Oktoberfest celebration :-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta October 6, 2019 at 1:36 PM Fasching is much more fun, but you certainly recorded the Oktobrefest scene! It is SO much more enjoyable to see people laughing, singing, and dancing rather than fighting! Well done! Aloha! Rico

Tom Cunningham October 6, 2019 at 1:08 AM I often see the Munich one advertised, its on my bucket list. How do those Frauleins manage to carry about ten steins of beer ? Rico Leffanta October 6, 2019 at 1:33 PM Wonderfully - and without spilling one drop!

Robert L. Hinshaw October 5, 2019 at 8:41 PM Sounds like you had a grand time, Ilene. How I remember the Oktober Fests in and around Munich, Germany when Vera and I were assigned to Frankfurt during our AF career! Those Germans know how to celebrate! Bob
