She asked me what I liked to drink,
So “Scotch” I said, promptly;
I’d never really had a drink,
But how hard could it be?
I mean, all my friends drank a lot,
And they were still alive:
I thought, this won’t be too bad
As we walked into this dive
‘Twas near the university
The dorms almost in sight:
The sign up by the door said drinks
Were three-for-one that night
And so I loudly ordered Scotch
And she got Vodka T. —
We got one more and then another
Things went swimmingly
Including, then, the room
As it began to swim around:
I got fixated on her face
I barely heard a sound
I think we made out in the car
I really don’t recall:
I had to act like I was
Quite a pro with alcohol
But think, somehow, she figured out
That it was new to me:
I’m guessing that I told her
‘Bout my drink virginity
I’d said the first thing in my head
I’d wanted to amaze:
But the next day I paid for it
In O
So many
Ways
Tight Corner
Have you ever managed to paint yourself into the proverbial corner because of your words? What did you do while waiting for them “to dry”?

I’ve enjoyed reading a number of your poems this morning…and I’m your newest follower. http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/06/25/re-tired/
But for some reason hadn’t read this one. I love your humor and your facility with meter and rhyme. Now does that sound like a poorly-reformed English teacher or what???? Thanks for the quote. How about your doing the prompt as well? Three poems in three days? You choose the quotes or I’ll furnish the first one. http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/08/14/fantastic-finish-jnws-new-prompt-generator-and-latitude-schmatitude/
Sure. I have done it once before on… I don’t know, one of my blogs, but the idea has so many possibilities.
By the way, I envy your knack for commenting on posts. I’m terrible at it.
In “O”
