Quandary

I had dreamt that all oceans were beer,
from a rowboat I’m scooping up cheer,
but similar to tea,
beer goes right through me.
I can’t urinate in the boat - OH DEAR!

If it's only a dream, just wake up and go into the bathroom. I just bought a thirty-pack of Miller Lite from the liquor store across the street. This is a fancifully imaginative write.

Easy...scoop from the bow, pee from the stern. Get a rhythm going and you’ve got yourself a speedboat. Great Limerick Lindsay. Terry

So get out of the boat and swim in the ocean of beer! Loved this witty write, Lindsay. May you have a great new year filled with joy and prosperity! Hugs, Carolyn

A happy new year to you also Caroline. I hope things settle down now in the US so you can all get back to some normality. An ocean of beer sounds great but there are pitfalls. Thank you Caroline - Lindsay
