Strange Remedy

Last night I consumed too much grog
This morning awoke in a fog
and though I'm unsure
of the bartender's cure
I'm shaving the hair off my dog

Fun limerick, Joe. 'Hair of the dog' is what they say, and surely bartenders know the cure. If this is entered in a "strange remedy" contest, looks like a winner to me! Keep well and stay fit and fun. Love, Mikki

VERY GOOD limerick, Joe. Shaving a dog is not a crime. And hopefully most of us got the hair of the dog joke implied here, but who knows. maybe that footnote was actually necessary for somebody! Hope this one places really high. I prefer one superb one to 3 not so good!
