WITH FRIENDS AT THE CLUB <br /> <br />One large peg of whiskey gives you its real <br />authentic taste, <br />Two pegs seem too inadequate and the drink <br />seems all a waste! <br />After three pegs, now you say that this is a real <br />drink; <br />For it makes you feel all at ease, when into the <br />couch you sink! <br />And with the next one, all barriers begin to <br />dissolve, <br />Your problems now take on wings and there <br />is nothing you cannot solve! <br />And when your friends pester you, for that <br />last one for the road, <br />You can hardly refuse them, though your voice <br />begins to croak! <br />Then finally during your drive back home, <br />When the Breath Test on the road is done, <br />Those policemen look all amused, though you <br />had all the fun! <br />You get a ticket, or pay a fine, or even land-up <br />in jail; <br />Promising to your wife all the while, that you <br />will never drink again! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 20 Aug 08 <br />(A POEM WRITTEN IN A LIGHTER VEIN!)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-friends-at-the-club/
