Spiked Drinks Got Them All So Rolling Drunk

Spiked Drinks Got Them All So Rolling Drunk Universe spun out of control and died The planets sputtered out and then fell The southern boy liked his chicken fried And preacher's young son rang the old church bell Hope lost its heart and thus began to cry The throng laughed away, nobody cared High sheriff asked, did anybody die Mike gathered rabbits he had snared Janet put on blue gown for that night's ball As her older brother Bill dosed the keg While white mouse in the corner saw it all Kelly in miniskirt showed her legs. Spiked drinks got them all so rolling drunk. Most f'ed up of all was the local monk. Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet, 1973 "A prom night to remember"

This is brilliant. lol. I love it! Dare I say anymore? I could elaborate, but I will desist. I dare to: Humour (satire) is a beautiful thing, no matter how dark the irony. :)
