I could have a glass of champagne
But the bubbles would go to my head
I’d be squiffy, confused
Somewhat easily bruised
Falling into your arms
Dancing into your bed
Tripping and
Tumbling
Temperance used.
I could have a glass of champagne
I could have a glass of champagne
And the bubbles would go to my head
I should have a glass of champagne
But you offer me cocoa instead.

Coke is good for you. :o)
I like that, vey much.
Thanks!
I'm mean… Coca-cola off course… U no… A compromise between champagne and cocoa… :o)
By the buy… Re member what Jane once sad bout good sex? 'It's a compromise between patience and impatience.' Re member my re ply? :o)
Ha ha, yes, I guess cola comes somewhere between the two and I vaguely remember the talk about compromise… but I suspect it may have been late at the end of a liquid night and, um, I can't recall your reply.What was it?
'Good sex is lack of compromise between patience and impatience.' (Copyright © Marek Stefanowicz 1913 :o)
Yes, I remember now.Though we've drifted somewhat. The poem isn't really about sex, champagne and cocoa… 😉
Shore it isn't… :o)
It's very good, and I wonder if it's about the high life as opposed to the mundane, but prolly not as I'm no good at puzzles. Still a good ditty though
Thanks, dannym. You're close with high life/mundane – risk vs safety was the underlying intent… though primarily was just aiming for a darkly witty ditty!
i love this poem. i'd like to interpret thispoem as a romantic and funny episode in thepoet's life — when plans go awry — and thepoet could not help it but just say "tsk, tsk."
Ha, yes, thanks Sito – "tsk, tsk" is exactly it and I'm glad you can see it's intended to be humorous.
Tks, skt.
tis very musical and gentle, it would go well to one of those charming little ditties from the first half of th' last century,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuI3ogcQjuIor bicycle made for two whereby this one is about a bicycle made for one..
The lines chime. I like bubbles going to my head. Will take the thought to bed.
