We'Re Flying To Prague

The ache in my back
  puts me on track
for a double dose
  of rum and cognac

The pain in my feet
  I'd like to delete
Pour me a double martini
  stick of cherry zucchini

The throb in my head
  makes me feel half-dead
I know this sounds risky
  a liter, 90-proof whiskey

Thus fortified
  no need for bromides
We're flying to Prague
  make mine an eggnog

I can relate to this part overly well because I have arthritis in both ankles "The pain in my feet I'd like to delete" So I limp a lot!

I'll be flying without need of a plane, I'm afraid -- Eggnog on his face

Hahaha! Needed this laugh early morning! Enjoy your vacation in Prague, with a Pilsner Urquell at your elbow!

Ooh. That sounds inviting, Seeker. Want to come with me? I can't manage a six-pack of Pilsner Urquell all by my lonesome. Excelsior!
