one friday night
I went to a bar
I ordered a bottle of beer
went to a toilet
and dumped the beer into an urinal
with the gurgling sound of flushing water
I shouted aloud
good night darling!
all the men stood up
raised their beer bottles
and shouted aloud in unison
good night darling!
good night damn darling!
they didn't go to the toilet
they drank the beer
their holy beer
