Old Boozed Willy

Old boozed Willy was hostile and not ready to lose; a dirty face, a glowing nose... only a firefighter's water hose could have put out the heat he had gotten from the booze! All the boys of Tumbleweed scampered like chased mice as they saw his bulgy belly hanging from his trousers... ah, his bad breath had the stench of a piggy; they yelled angrily, " Go to another town, fatty! " What was on his hot, red tongue? The smell of Johnny Walker's whiskey? They always saw him leaping like a frog... when he finally got up, he looked so scary! Who crossed Willy...driving him to drink that poison? He cussed everyone getting a bit closer to his whiskey, never did he mess with a chubby, bickering mommy, who came running,...brandishing a long, black baton! One noon there was a large rally by his door to evict him from his bungalow...what was the reaction of Willy? He brought out a case of expensive whiskey, and offered them lots of drinks...they drank and felt mellow! So they kept on drinking the hard liquor... until it hurt their full, burping beer-bellies, but one of them quite sober hollered with a stuttering voice, " Get Willy, he stole all the whiskey from the Happy Hour Bar! Old boozed Willy was hostile and not ready to lose; a dirty face, a glowing nose... only a firefighter's water hose could have put out the heat he had gotten from the booze! My comment: It wasn't fair to chase after Old Willy after they drank his whiskey, even 'though they found out it was stolen. They weren't a bit thankful or compassionate, but drinking it without asking him how he got it, made them his partners in crime!

Ah, you have me laughing, Andrew. I can just imagine Willy giving in and sharing his booze with the crowd who wanted to evict him. Then, after they're all drunk, they turn on him again thinkin he stole the Johnny Walker. Your poetry brings big smiles, dear friend, and congratulations on having two poems moving on in the Soup contest. Hope you take the top prize because you're tops with me! Love, Carolyn
