(a poem in Senryus)
They say that you should
never follow whisky with
beer - but my new rhyme
is - never follow
several martinis with
two more martinis
Ladies, please take my
advice, you can’t focus your
eyes in the morning
When your roommates rude
little sister runs the loud
vacuum around noon
Who gets up before
noon in the summer? It’s not
right, if you ask me.
“Mom told me too?” That’s
an excuse reminiscent
of old Nuremberg
I have feels for her
as encumbered as she is
by parental yoke.

It was in all of the
"Wonder-land" newspapers
how a fairy commited suicide by
diving into a martini
The drinkee
being oblivious
to this invisible death
just kept on drinking
not thinking of fairydust,
but only assuming it was
sparkling from the moon
and, the mouth tingling
obligatory olive
Some-one in "Wonderland"
wrote a small obituary
to remember her
riding to eternity
on a dragonfly's wings
And if the moral to this story
isn't obvious, you must,
when drinking martinis under moonlight
watch out
for suicidal fairies
