"That's your tenth double gin,
You've a vacuous grin.
In a word... -- ah, you're getting the gist.

Hit the bottle and got himself drunk.
But his face was all smiles;
He relabeled his files
Philosophically: think, thank, or thunk.

I've thought and I've thank and I've thunk;
I've sought, then I sank, now I'm sunk.
Thirst I could not bear;
I'm now worse for wear;
For the drought, well I drank, now I'm drunk.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Swapping limericks while both were quite drunk,
To such a low level they've sunk.
With each sip of scotch,
Their brain slipped a notch.
Now they can't tell a thought from a thunk.

When drinking could never say when.

Through his pores it would ooze,
And when sober start drinking again.

When by light of the moon,
The Tower beside me was straight!"

I had hoped would be perfectly fine.
But I've had a wee dram,
And I feel that I am
Quite unable to finish this...

Has proven to be quite a gas.

Whose English was not 'comme il faut';

My advice is to exercise caution
And not to drink out of proportion.
Because too much wine
(Although tasting divine)
Will bring about "guttural extortion".

Her heels, till she feels the first hiccup.
Then homeward she'll fly
With a neighborly guy,
And on the way puke in his pick-up.

Then once they've drunk all the booze,
And spewed up in both of the Loo's,
Off home they all go,
Saying "Bye!" or "Cheerio!"
Leaving us with the clean-up blues.

Next morning while surveying the mess,
I think it went well, I must guess,
By the state of the walls,
The carpets and halls,
The damage from a tornado is less.
--- Anon

To make up for the visits they've made,
The whole family I'll take,
The cat, "Jess" & Dog, "Jake",
And then my revenge I'll have paid.
--- Anon

A drunk is a sloppy old sot;
My contempt for them is a lot.

Before they throw up,
And wind up dead like a shot.

A drunk heaved on the pup -- like that -- splat!
Bespattered, it howled;
It shook; the drunk growled:
"Suvvagun! Don't recall eating that!"

I'm suffering badly from booze;
Soon out of my pores it will ooze.

Watching ceilings revolving around,
And you feel you must chuck
Up your guts in a buck-
et and cringe at the tiniest sound.

That's enough of the beer or Bordeaux;
And in future take care
To be fully aware
Of how much you can drink in one go.

Who one night tied into a keg.

But threw up the rest,
Passed out, and pissed down his leg.

If their booze I reject,

Went down to the pub for a jar.

As the eighth made him barf on the bar.

Of the very commode,
That I then climbed and rode,
And lost a few times to the race.

A flickering fire in the night.
A car-becue, oh, what a sight!
What could he be thinking?
The driver was drinking --
The County Commissioner was tight!

He hit the abutment so hard,
He holed his gas tank with a shard
Of friction-hot steel.
He hops toe to heel --
His car and the grass are both charred.
--- Anon

"I only had one little sip!"
(It slipped 'twixt the cup and the lip.)
"The guy I picked up --
I drank from his cup."
"It must have been vodka," his quip.

The hitchhiker cannot be found;
They have tried to run him to ground.
Elusive as mist,
He does not exist.
The Commissioner's story unwound.

Who thought that he knew all the tricks.
After driving around
On three drinks, what he found
Was that drinking and driving don't mix.

If you do, your wits take a dive.

If you drink that liquor;
You'll lower odds of staying alive.

But she drove her car into the brine.
As she began to sink,
She started to think,
Have I been drunking way too much wine?

Now our Leda she does love her wine,
But she drove her car into the brine.
As she began to sink,
She started to think:
"Is this part of God's great design?"

He killed a cyclist, says the charge sheet.
So praise God in prayers,
As in Riverland there's
One John Miller less on the street.

Indeed, there are too many Millers
And rapists and serial killers.
And too many Daves
Infesting rank caves,
And not enough Raspberry Chillers.

Don't exit your revel
With alcohol level,
On the north side of oh-point-oh-eight.

Was lying out cold in the rain;

His head, so it cracked;
The bastard was drunk as a Dane.

He was on his way to see Lynn,
But he made a quick stop at the inn.
Had he stayed away
From the booze, I would say,
He'd not be in the state he's now in.

So he messed up his only big chance,
To have with this Lynn a romance.
She waited in vain
For her beloved Dane,
But he still wanted to frolic and dance.

Not to disappoint beautiful Lynn,
Came a man fro the south,
Approached swiftly Lynn's house,
That's the point where Dutch Dirruk comes in.

We went for a night on the town
And drank things unmentionably brown.

I don't want to be rude,
But excuse me while I'm falling down!

While dancing at our celebration,
A curious manifestation;
It occurred just like that,
On my face I fell flat,
Suffering inebriation.

Who'd stammer and stutter and mutter,
Got tight one dark night,
Went outdoors to recite,
And fell, nostrils first, in the gutter.

And he smelled like a skunk
As he lay in the urinal stinking.

It isn't so much how you stand
With all the big shots of the land,
But how you stand up
With wine in your cup,
And nothing to lean on at hand.

When by alcohol I'm intoxicated
And my normal functions too degraded
When I lay, then, my head
On my pillow in bed,
I feel lucky 'cause so far I've made it.

I went to a dog show at Krupps,
Unfortunately, deep in my cups.
A Basset Hound, lying,
Tripped me. I went flying
Into trophies and ribbons and pups.

A tippler who'd sworn he'd stopped drinking,
Passed a bar and, hearing glass clinking,
Upended a flagon,
Then fell off the wagon,
And into the gutter dropped, stinking.

At first he stood up for a drink.
He sat down for a second, I think.
Then, third, from the floor
He gave fourth with a roar,
Killed fifth, and sank under the sink.

Of lager I'd had quite a fill,
And was struggling home up Warmsley Hill.
In the darkness so deep,
The road got so steep,
That I stumbled and swayed on until...
--- Tiddy Ogg

At last I was forced just to crawl,
In order to make that long haul;
For hand-holds I'd search,
Then forward I'd lurch,
Each moment dreading I'd fall.
--- Tiddy Ogg

That climb seem to go on for years,
With the wind whistling cold 'round my ears.
Then the moon could be seen,
Creeping from the cloud's screen,
And I quaked with the most awful fears.
--- Tiddy Ogg

A white figure, arms opened wide,
Was standing there right by my side.
I, filled with great dread,
Put my arms o'er my head,
That grim apparition to hide.
--- Tiddy Ogg

For my wickedness now I must pay.
For this must be my judgement day.
'Twas the Angel of Death,
I'd taken my last breath...
And with that thought, I then passed away.
--- Tiddy Ogg

I awoke and I found that the ghost
Was not one of the heavenly host.
It now lacked its awe,
For in daylight I saw
It was only a weathered sign post.
