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.
