The Doggone Dog Contest

The Hair of the Dog

You can drink til your dead as a log
And get up with your head in a fog
tomato juice cocktail
two jiggers ginger ale
and a taste of the hair of the dog

She calls you, you’re jumpy as a frog
you act cool, your head still in a grog
she says just come on by
You can unzip your fly
for a taste of the hair of the dog

In three days you feel she needs a flog
To the doctor, you go, brain agog
Three shots you need to get
Ere you can even wet
Without cussing the hair of the dog

oh, my goodness, YOU wrote this?? I had wondered who had done this one. I'm sorry I never gave you a mention, Charles. I honestly was not sure how to take it. I was thinking you were saying something very naughty inside it, so I held back and didn't give it a place. It really had a well done meter, and dang, I still am not sure what it all meant (but my mind can be kinda dirty sometimes) haha. LUv, Andrea
