Bar brawling

I’m wide awake when I should be sleeping

It must the company I’m keeping

Strange bedfellows these fellows make

I should be sleeping when I’m wide awake

 

Seduced into saucing it with the lot

My good senses I’ve seemed to forgot

My demise may be the cause of this fit

With the lot, seduced into saucing it

 

I find that I’m not the late night type

Bar brawling is a painful misled hype

A fat lip and a slapped cheek was my lot

The late night type I find that I’m not.

VERY witty & wonderfully constructed. - you have a way with words!

HAHAHAHA! I enjoyed this! Excellent Swap Quatrain with a humorous (if somewhat painful) lesson learned.

Thank you for participating in the Poetry in-FORM_ation Challenge.

An entertaining and amusing ditty - I especially liked the image of 'saucing it'... and the reward of the fat lip and slapped cheek... Neatly packaged cameo!

I love this! I laughed aloud to myself, because it has a sort of Dr. Seuss feel to it...if Dr. Seuss was a heavy partier given to bar brawling. I mean that as a compliment, please don't misunderstand me and take it as insult. Dr. Seuss is probably the reason I've been in love with poetry since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Well done! I look forward to reading more of your work.
