The New Happy Hour

Times are tough and the world’s insane,

so now is the occasion to bring some joy,

no more fretting over drinking age,

it’s been lowered to eight

since the new President was elected

on a promise of making life a happy hour.

 

Thanks to the expanded market

drinks now only cost a buck,

fresh fruit added to satisfy

the surgeon general’s nutrition standards.

 

As an added incentive

for the new crop of young patrons

a ruby ducky given away

with each three drinks purchases.

 

Liberal laws applied

in order that kids on tricycles

don’t risk getting a DUI.

 

It’s cheers and lunacy as the order of the day,

everyone burping and truly smiling,

news broadcast ignored by laughter

while bathtubs everywhere

are becoming over populated by rubber ducks.
