Today is also the Feast Day of St. Nicholas so this fun event was very appropriate.

Him ‘for posterity’
Her ‘for insecurity’
Them ‘for affection’
Us ‘for satisfaction’,

dance we drink
In chance we drink

In trance we drink
Drink all the time
Breakfast, noon
Evening, night
Dusk or dawn
Sun or moon
Drink when late
Drink while soon

Let Titanic sink
Let’s die soon
Shall we….?
