Poetry: Humorous

INTOXICATED

I patronized the Stumble Inn
drank too much without a doubt
I guess that's why
their exit sign
reads "Thanks"
and "Stumble Out"

I called a cab
and overpaid
for the short ride to my home
but it's good it didn't
take too long
cause Ralph called me to the throne

Then when I finally laid down
to rest my throbbing head
it took me by surprise
the spinning
of my bed

I closed my eyes
to slow it down
but there's something I don't get
will someone please explain to me
why it spun faster yet

So I threw my leg over the side
to plant my foot and make it stop
I found out though
that doesn't work
cause that damn bed flung me off!
