This is an example for my next contest.

I've done some crazy stuff in my life, and this is just one of the crazy things that I have done when I was a teenager. I'm sure most of you had some crazy fun as a teen. Ah..to be young again. 

Occasionally I'll have a beer or two... But never do I get drunk Except one time in my early years... When I was a wild teen-age punk My friends and I bought a keg of beer... To go party and to have some fun We drank, and drank, all night long... Until the keg was done We partied at my parents house... When they left for the night They went away for their anniversary... So the timing seemed just right Nearly one hundred friends came over... To my planned up backyard bash We drank our beer, and smoked our pot... Then, most went home to crash But before the night was over... We played a game of dare I was so drunk, for twenty bucks... I shaved off my eye brow hair Man, did i look funny... With no eye brows on my face So I stole my sister's mascara From her "fix me up" make-up case I painted on new eye brows... Thinking it would look alright Boy oh boy, was I so wrong, because... It turned out, my idea was not so bright I had to go to work in the morning... To sell push-cart Ices in the park My hours were from eleven a.m. Until, the day got dark With the sun beating down upon my face The mascara dripped and smeared No wonder why, everyone who looked at me Had looked at me...so weird (lol) So, when ever I drink beer these days... I'll never drink to get drunk again Funny, how I can now laugh about those times... That had happened way back when

Oh my, Charlie! When parents are out of town, teens do the wildest things. I wasn't nearly as adventurous as you and don't think I even knew a hundred people my age. But, hey, you learned a lesson and I'm sure you never shaved your brows again. Makeup melts here in the South, so ladies often go without it. Funny poem! Hugs, Carolyn

Ha ha,love it! I once mowed my lawn after work and forgot to take off my makeup, afterwards I went in and looked in the mirror and had black lines running down my face from my mascara, what a sight I must have been to all those who saw me!
