Drinking is logarithmic we decided <br />While finishing the upteenth beer last night. <br />It was just before we had recited <br />Monty Python and the Meaning of Life. <br />It seems that the first beer is always “taste” <br />And the second, so good, it comes so close, <br />That we drink the third beer with hurried haste <br />And the next three beers are a single dose. <br />Your head is now swimming, but you’re not drunk, <br />And getting the seventh beer from the fridge <br />You think, “Alfred E. Newman, what a hunk.” <br />With another beer you're burning the bridge <br />Between being cool and over the edge, <br />And you can’t balance beer while on that ledge.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-v-drinking-beer/
