They Watered Down The Vodka

They watered down the vodka
                             I barely got a buzz
I bet I’d pass the breath test 
                      If picked up by the fuzz

I’m checkin’ on the gin now
                        It’s tastin’ mighty thin
I guess they mixed that bathtub
            With “pond”, then poured it in

The shots ain’t hitten’ either
               The whiskey’s barely brown
I’m spendin’ my whole paycheck
                    And I’m about to drown

They watered down the vodka
                        And now, I gotta pee
The next time I’m a drinkin’
                         Here comes B.Y.O.B.

They just don't make drinks like they used to, eh? What's this world coming to, anyway?

I prefer wine, a glass at lunch. Used to drink hard liquor but stopped. Weak heart :)

Hello Mike, your boozy lament had me cracking up! The clever wordplay and rhymes make this poem a riot. From the "bathtub" gin to the whiskey "barely brown", your descriptions are hilarious. The punchline about B.Y.O.B. is the perfect comedic cap. You've bottled the essence of a great night gone awry - bravo for this intoxicatingly funny verse! - Blessings, Daniel
