So it was just a bummer day that left me feeling sad.
So many things had happened to me. All of them were bad.
I went down to a local bar and ordered me a drink.
I didn't want to talk to anyone or even think.

That bully Toerag grabbed my glass and downed it in one gulp.
Now, normally, I'd go ahead and beat him to a pulp
But I just started crying. That had been the final straw
While Toerag said, "A grown man crying? That's against the law!"

"I've had a bad day, twit with ears. I showed up late for work
Which caused my boss to fire me, calling me a dumbass jerk.
I went out to the parking lot and someone stole my Ford!
No car insurance. It was something I could not afford."

"I took a taxi home and left my wallet in the seat,
And stepped out on some vomit some drunk spewed out on the street.
I found my wife in bed with some guy I'd not seen before
And screamed as my dog bit me as I headed for the door!

" So I thought, "Ah, to hell with it" and brought myself in here.
I had a poison pellet and I dropped it in my beer
Deciding it was time for this old worthless life to end
But now I'm feeling better. Tell me - how YOU feeling, friend???"

Yo, Sir Balladeer: Serves that Toe right for drinkin' out of turn... though with your luck it'll probably just give him gas. Sorry about the dog turning on ya. Funny stuff here, my friend. Peace.

I heard Toerag was doing great
You'll find him down at that bar.
He seems to drink a lot these days,
Doesn't stray from that bar far.

He claims he downed a drink of yours,
Didn't stop to use a straw.
His sex life is terrific now,
Thanks to you, and your ~ Viagra!

ya, ya I know - da, dumb

Lawdie, lawdie! Dat Toe has a mighty strong constitution ~ so me thinks it unlikely that he met his Maker this time. Besides, only the good die young! lol

Oh, nooooo, poor Toe! This flows just so nicely, with a surprising culmination!

I am sure he knows some mantra that neutralizes the poison immediately ... you will hear from him I am certain.

Love,
Margherita
