Unlike her husband
The kickbox trainer could not
Ignore the loud drunk

Instead of fighting
He simply walked away from
The arguing drunk

Thing of the Day: Bouncer’s Guide To Barroom Brawling: Dealing With The Sucker Puncher, Streetfighter, And Ambusher
While drinking at home late last night
I had me a terrible fright
To the fridge I did go
And I suffered a blow
The only thing there was called Lite
My head quickly started to spin
What a pickle I found I was in
I suppose I could find
Something else for my mind
Perhaps vodka or what about gin?
I ran to my home bar so fast
And what I found left me aghast
If only I’d known
That my whole stock was blown
Oh, the size of my problem was vast
ugly red flowers
bloom on the floor of the bar
after the big brawl

We’re talking hundreds of dollars of prizes here, so get off your duff and start versing.

She left real quickly
Lost at the bar, I ponder
Barkeep, suggestions?

He didn’t mean it.
Bought a beer for the wrong gal
and started a brawl
