Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

Quaffed

Ole Kelly worked at the brewery
And was pretty good at that
But one day he lost his balance 
And fell into a vat

O’Reilly went to Kelly’s house
Someone had to tell his wife
He said Kelly fell into the beer
And there he lost his life

Kelly’s wife was beside herself
Said I know those vats are slick
Please tell me he didn’t suffer
That my Kelly went real quick

He said I don’t think he suffered ma’am  
As far as I could see
In fact while he was swimming in there
He climbed out twice to pee

Another old Irish joke that I just had to set to rhyme.

Edward Mccormick December 6, 2011 at 8:19 AM Bob, Profanity is almost required for expressing how enjoyable your poem is! It's laugh out loud funny, and the temp reads so nicely. All the people at the library here are wondering, "What's he cracking up over there about?" Hahaha! Viva Quaffed! ~ECMc Bob Quigley December 6, 2011 at 8:38 AM Yeah, it's one of my favorite Irish jokes. Thanks for the comments Edward.
