Frances and Deb - God's Honest Truth! The closest I ever got, was when I drank a schooner (glass, not ship) of dandelion wine very quickly after a landlord called 'Time, gentleman please!' A friend of my hubby-to-be had bought us 'one for the road'. I thought it would be impolite not to drink it all. Shows how green I was at the time... I hated the way it made me feel, and never, ever drank enough to repeat the feeling again.
Well , as long as you were only "green" and not pea-green and queasy then it was a lesson well learned ! A genteel thimbleful of a good red wine with friends can be convivial , though .
Everyone's Besh Frien' .... a cheerful drunk !
ReplyDeleteStill a slurp or two from Danny Boy , perhaps .
You certainly captured the mood!
ReplyDelete...as I recall it from former days...
Ladies, I think I should hasten to add, I've never been drunk!
ReplyDeleteJinksy, whyever not? (Loved the poem!)
ReplyDeleteThat's what you'd have us believe, Jinksy....

After it's gone and for as long as you're still drunk... oh and if you're pouring dactyls, make mine a double too...
ReplyDeleteWhat never? Hardly ever (HMS Pinafore)
ReplyDeleteS&S - i certainly suffered no pea green effect...
ReplyDeleteStan Ski - a double you shall have...
But Viv, TRULY never, in my case, at least...
Well, I'm rarely sober, and I love the poem. Cheers! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for the interesting post......
