WITH FRIENDS AT THE CLUB

One large peg of whiskey gives you its real
authentic taste,
Two pegs seem too inadequate and the drink
seems all a waste!
After three pegs, now you say that this is a real
drink;
For it makes you feel all at ease, when into the
couch you sink!
And with the next one, all barriers begin to
dissolve,
Your problems now take on wings and there
is nothing you cannot solve!
And when your friends pester you, for that
last one for the road,
You can hardly refuse them, though your voice
begins to croak!
Then finally during your drive back home,
When the Breath Test on the road is done,
Those policemen look all amused, though you
had all the fun!
You get a ticket, or pay a fine, or even land-up
in jail;
Promising to your wife all the while, that you
will never drink again!
