Drinking Drama

For the unfortunate Tony B, who never drank again – at least, until the next time…

Though he woke up in the darkness,
He knew the place had changed.
He’d spent the evening boozing,
And his head felt rearranged.

Slowly it came back to him
That he was staying with a friend.
He’d been in no fit state to leave
When the party came to an end.

His eyeballs seemed on fire,
His mouth too dry to speak.
He left the bed on shaky legs
As he was desperate for a leak.

He stumbled into the bathroom,
And let nature take its course,
But he had to have a drink next
Because his throat was really hoarse.

He couldn’t find the light switch,
But in the gloomy black,
He found a mug he quickly filled,
And knocked the contents back.

What happened next decided him-
No more of these adventures,
As he felt the clink against his teeth
Of someone else’s dentures.
