Party Favors



Spin the bottle ...
give some unlucky lips a drunken kiss
Pin the tail on the donkey; 
though you didn’t miss 
on purpose you bosom grope insist,
when you stagger slipped
Tilt the bottle ...
pour liquid social stumbles into short cups
Place your hand on a spandex rear end,
and get a five-finger hard slap on cheek rebuff
Now some hubby is miffed
Romance the bottle ...
as you begin serenading the lamp,
the room starts spinning darkly too
Then you go doggy low,
and heave-ho on the carpet floor
Wiping your mouth 
on some pretty leggings,
sitting on a barstool nearby you
That gets you the bouncer lift
Don’t give party favors
nobody asked for
Or you might get a swift boot in the behind,
and a hard kick out the door
Even worse, 
you might get a sore jaw
and a liniment-approved black eye
Gaze into the crystal bottle ...
and understand the pariah reason why

Ahhh you captured the days of my youth my friend. Too man by slaps and bouncer black eyes to recall. Love the creativeness of the party favors line!

I gave it up when I became a daddy. Don't drink and don't miss it. However, there was a time... Love the "party favor" very original. Nice write Freddie.

Wow! Heavy stuff,...and Real! I wanna say that this is the 2018 update of some scenes from The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, esp. the episode where Jurgis pals around with a spoiled rich kid and wounds up getting thrown out into the cold night...This one's right 'there,' Freddie. Way to go! ~Gershon
