Booze Hound

WriteBeLight

He’s not a happy Labrador.

Or a sweet and cuddly Beagle.

A Chihuahua in a purse.

Or a Pug with cute, soft wrinkles.

 

No, not a Doberman Pinscher,

Or a noble Great Dane.

Or a cute little Jack Russell,

No, he’s not one of them.

 

He isn’t very well-mannered.

Nor, a person you could tame.

To behave himself in public.

And, not garner such a name.

 

This person I’m talking about,

Maybe so, familiar to most.

Loses all control of himself,

And embarrasses the host.

 

He’ll pass out on the couch.

Lose his cookies in the trash.

Next day forget it all.

In his mind, had such a blast.

 

Yes, a hammered horse’s ass,

Hope, in your company not found.

No manners or consideration,

This two-legged Booze Hound.

        Thanks so much! I saw this behavior recently so I was inspired to write a poem about this. It is all too familiar. Thanks for reading 🙂

        Oh - love both the fun-poem and image to match. The booze-hound I take does not have four legs? Great read.

          I was a bar tender and waitress. Sometimes you just have to tell it like it is. 🙂 I did enjoy this write to just say it like it is. Yes, he has two legs!

                Thanks for sharing HONEY ~ a very sobering poem ! The ninth and last FRUIT of the SPIRIT is Moderation or Self Control. Alcohol does have its place in Society and a glass of wine ameliorates a good meal and helps digestion. Beer & lager can enliven a party and even spirits have their place in gastronomy ! Like sex ~and other blessings ~ Moderation is necessary in respect of alcohol. There are thousands of deaths each each year due to drunk driving. There are scores of other negatives due to excessive use of alcohol. The antisocial behaviour of the BOOZE HOUND (apologies to all Dogs !) is just one example. Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN
