Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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

Valsa George December 9, 2021 at 5:12 AM Ha...ha! So martni and cognac act as panacea to all your ailments.... They will take you not only to Prague, but to the far ends of the world Gershon Wolf December 9, 2021 at 5:12 PM I'll be flying without need of a plane, I'm afraid -- Eggnog on his face

Unseeking Seeker December 8, 2021 at 8:58 PM Hahaha! Needed this laugh early morning! Enjoy your vacation in Prague, with a Pilsner Urquell at your elbow! Gershon Wolf December 9, 2021 at 4:00 PM 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!
