Oktoberfest

It is that time of year again 
wooden clog upon the cobblestone
the red telly in view beer maids 
slide the giant steins across 

long tables inside the crowded tent 
huge pretzel and brats hang sparingly 
over the doorway entrance while misty 
fog pour in chasing hedge hogs 

throughout the forest a rather full 
Marketplatz beckons my attention span
I notice the Bavarian alps in view
while riding the mechanical bull
 
I'm quite taken by the lanky block 
in the far corner adjusting stocking 
dashing to buy a few more hummels 
wooden nut crackers and incense burners

taxi!!!

You chose a taxi over a companion?
