/// In the Inn, alcoholic drinks flowed,
then the time came for “one for the road.”
Stirrup Cup, (one last snort,
often sherry or port),
downed on horseback, and then off he rode.

After leading a day of attacks/
Against Brits (whom they called “lobster backs”)/
Pierre liked to imbibe/

Fredrick; attempting a record number of bar hoppings by not getting off his ride. Don’t worry, the horse knows the way home.

When Orpheus smote his lyre/
To delight a small woodland choir/
He forgot his attire/
Had been left in the dryer/
But Eurydice’s pants caught fire..///
