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. :)
