Welcome Worse Than a Trap

Would you on the spot succumb,
When someone told you “Welcome?”
The fine time to act a lamb
One’s closed door hold on its jamb
While the key to it arrives 
And door-unlocking strength strives?

A woman I had seen, stopped
And besought by a head cocked 
To quaff a bottle of stout
And perfectly look The Scout
She’d seemed to want to be 
But couldn’t have from just tea…

And a bottle became Two,
Drinker’s mind divided, too;
Later, climaxed it to five,
Drinker no longer alive!
