Worst Morning After

Not ever having gotten drunk before,
I drank tequila; then I drank some more.

The night got shorter. Wasted,  then I saw
A tall dark cowboy stride into the bar.

The drinks kept flowing as he hit on me,
And now I have this vaguest memory. . . 

I got up on the counter in high heels.
I think I’ve learned how Jimmy Buffet feels!

I think I did the can-can till  I fell. 
Both head and tail of mine now feel like hell.

And though I’m used to waking up with dread,
No dread compares to what lies in my bed!!

A smelly guy who now I have discovered
must use false teeth, for here they sit uncovered!

Worst morning after; now I’m feeling ill.
Where can I find a morning after pill?


(Hope everyone realizes this is pure fiction. LOL)

Take two funny pills and call me in the morning, but don't get funny with me okay?...I took the serious approach as did a least one other winner who entered a true gem...Poured my heart and soul into it and even found it to be somewhat cathartic but alas! It was not up to the judge's lofty standards (I'm quite sure I used incorrect punctuation or something) Congrats my friend! - Tim
