Working and quite guzzling But the state of the economy to come

Is dark scary and puzzling When I'm drunk on kahlua and rum

Come on lil - you know me well Certainly you've got it right

Would indeed be a cold day in hell Ere I was sober on a Saturday night

yeesh

Here is my funny short low-effort poem of the day:

Challenge

  Show me a single
  literary magazine
  without a cigarette in it 
I shall shelve it for my short clever poems book along with my brunch poems.

A cold day indeed!

This reminds me of Ogden Nash. I keep one of his poems in my pocket to use at parties and events to seem clever. Here it is:

  There is something about a martini 
  Ere the dining and dancing begin
  And to tell you the truth
  It's not the vermouth
  I think that perhaps it's the gin
Boooya!

That's right, I said "booya" after an Ogden Nash poem. There is a first time for everything.
