Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sing a Song of Sickness - Especially For San Woo

Sing a song of sickness after a barrel full of rye
Two men drank the whiskey and soon they were pie eyed
They woke up in a prison cell; their heads began to ring
Now they know the consequences too much alcohol can bring

Sadly in their drunken state they’d got into a fight
Bill gave Ted a left hook - he looked a sorry sight
When their hangovers were over they stood before the law
Each received a hefty fine and now their heads are sore!

San Woo challenged me to write a parody of her favourite nursery rhyme ... sing a song of sixpence
