A Lesson Unlearned

After six shots of gin, that
Beefeater seemed to crack a smile.

Happily, he escorted you
out of my mind,

like a Bow Bell Cockney
expelled from the tower.

Unfortunately, Jose
let you back in.

That’s what I get,
for trusting a pretty label.

Now, where did I put my Godiva chocolate?

Yes Lori, Bottoms up...giggle. I agree with Sage, but I think it is too funny. Made me laugh. Also Lori thnx for the review of A Wandering Soul. I had just posted it...giggles again. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, maybe too stubborn for my own good, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still very sad and very terrified little sister, Barbie

Too funny, Lori. Chocolate is the best vice. The only real hangover we get from it is centered near our belt.
Take care,
