            Beer Bench Delight.

I was relaxing on my beer bench with a whiskey in my hand

The sun was shining very warm and bright

It was the time of day that I considered so superior and grand

I was not expecting Mother Nature’s awful fright.

 

I raised my tot glass to my lips and gave my head a little tilt

My eyes were closed so in fact I didn't see

A diving alcoholic Buzzard who obviously didn't accept guilt

Who swiftly took my whiskey glass from me

 

I was stunned at such behavior, He didn't really have to steal

I have always been a genuine nature lover

I feed all the birds and animals but this attack has made me feel

That maybe when drinking I must take cover.

 

I was amazed at this behavior so I followed his airborne retreat

He landed in a tree and started to drink my tot

He was looking down and smiling and when all was complete

He dropped the glass after he had drunk the lot

 

Fortunately, it didn't end there as he began to twitch and sway

The alcohol was beginning to take affect

I quite often have a real large drink and I did today

So, he crashed; what more could he expect?             Rod Broomham  (c)

Poor he!!! I don't think he will EVER steal any glass whatever it's filled with!!! if there is no joke around, let us make a one, this what I thought of reading Your words, and I imagined You sitting on Your bench when the idea came across and You float with Your imagination, I bet You smiled too :)
