Short Flagon Poems

She drank a flagon of cider
Whilst hubby sat down beside her 
When she broke wind
It did not offend
He just shrugged, "Where can I hide her?"...

Hagrid had an egg on his table
And according to the told fable
	It hatched a male dragon
	He drank a large flagon
Then he named it Norbert not Mabel...

Guinness Interruptus 

The sweet lass he was chasing was Finnish
but like Popeye he needed his spinach
to build up his strength
in longing and length
so he stopped for a flagon of Guinness

Grog

Gulping down a flagon 

Gives one a gibbous glow. 

Gather 'round ye hardies,

Grab one and have a go. 

Ghostly foam and farting 

Gnomes bilge one gushing flow.

Garish gaffe...drinking Grog!

Walking the riverside, the rain stopped, the sun reappeared.
Weaving thru the weeds came the dragonfly.
A trembling shimmer of gauzy wings.
Darting electric blues,greens and bronze
In a crazy zig-zag dance.

Droplets clung to rain-splashed leaves.
A mosaic of life-nature's multitude.

The dragonfly bustled with fingertip precision.
Gathering fragments of gold,
It sped away,
A life in a day!...

The Tyburn wagon halts at every inn.
Tight stinking alleys
cobblestones and gin.
The condemned drink their fill,
none fear falling ill.
Harlots cackle and screech
the condemned grow horny.
The Hanging Tree accommodates
three at a time.
Six limbs a’ waving,
bladders and bowels voiding
- drink now to the dangling.
A canting debauchery
spends its copper penny.
Hungover Londoners swear
‘off the wagon,’
but look here comes another:
Pass the flagon!...
