Unfortunate Circumstances

A certain young fellow in Frisco
Went dancing one night at a disco
Tipsy, I am told,
When he lost billfold
Now he's lost his job with Nabisco.

Love that you found something that rhymed with Nabisco! This was brilliant!

Glad you got a good laugh out of it, Jan. I worked and worked on it, trying to make it a bit risque, but finally gave up.
