My example poem

My Reservoir Is Now Pints Shy     (Sonnetia Rispetto)

A challenge once was put to me
to drink six beers and not to pee.
When young I won that careless bet
Six bottles I would quickly scarf,
then merely belch and never barf,
but how I did it I forget.

A challenge once was put to me
to drink six beers and not to pee.
My bladder then could wait and wait
and bow not to an old prostate.
When young I won that careless bet
but how I did it I forget.
A challenge once was put to me
to drink six beers and not to pee.
