Absinthe Poem by Bunny Baker

It blew my head off
After just one glass
I thought I would be alright
I didn’t want to start a fight
Or make a pass
At some fat smelly man
But Absinthe had other ideas

80% alcohol it said on the can
Surely there should be a ban!
It wanted to do damage
But I thought I could manage

The night started out OK
But ended in a joke
I wished I’d stuck to rum and coke.
Just some mates going to the bar
Here’s a treat for you cos you’re a star!
If it was a treat I wanted the trick
Ending up on the floor being sick
