Whiskey From a Chalice

There was an old man from Dallas who drank his whiskey from a chalice he raised his mug and gave it a chug now the old man is drunken and callous. He awoke with a pain in his head he had trouble getting out of the bed for the mug he reached and the pain was bleached as soon as the bottle was dead.

This is such a fun poem and very enlightening when it comes to drinking. I really enjoyed reading this because it made me smile. Thank you for your comments on my poetry. You are correct that it is a great outlet for release when it comes to venting any form of expression.

Hi Kristina, thanks for visiting; I'm glad I could make you smile this morning. Generally my writing has a little more substance but every once in a while you just have to keep it light. Thanks for your comments. John
