Short Hair Of The Dog Poems

Last night I consumed too much grog
This morning awoke in a fog
and though I'm unsure
of the bartender's cure
I'm shaving the hair off my dog

I have a favourite Nazareth tune.

When I sing it I must sound like a loon.

"Hair of the Dog" is the one

I sing out loudly for fun,

But the bad language makes some people swoon....

Hey Witchy
You want hair of the dog
Tongue of frog
Eye of newt
Or an old army boot

Hey Witchy
Toil and trouble
Boil and bubble
Throw all you got
In your black pot

Hey Witchy
What's your notion
In your potion
Can I see
Is it magic or just laundry...

I was
A little drunk
At the start
A zest for life
With freewheeling legs
Friend
To all and foe
Little by little
That life chipped away
I drew away
To that shelter
Of inner self
One won’t find
On any shelf
I woke
With headache
And hangover
Not even
The hair of the dog
Can cure...

Hair Of The Dog...

I woke up this morning with the brown bag flu,
And I’m sick as a dog from too many brews;

But you know what they say “Hair of the Dog”,
I poured me a beer, to rid my mind of this fog;

My stomach is churning but I soldier on,
Praying soon that this headache is gone;

It seems to me I only made it worse,
Someone please call me a nurse;

Hair of the dog sure did me in,
And I swear I’m never drinking again....

You don't have to go home 
but you can't stay here
It's getting on closing time
Better drink up your beer

Lately I've been wondering
When my mind is liquor free
Am I drinking from the bottle
Or is the bottle drinking me

Those night's when I'm full throttle 
Foot loose and fancy free
I'm too wrapped up in the moment
To really clearly see

When I crave a hair of the dog that bit
After an A one first class bender
My liver, or what is left of it
Is screaming uncle, I surrender...
