I liked your poem. Wasn't just funny, it was full of drunken insight. Here's a poem I saw on the wall of a bar:
Riddler.The Horse and Mule live thirty years,
Yet know nothing of wine and beers. Most goats and Sheep at twenty die,
And have never tasted Scotch or Rye. A Cow drinks water by the ton,
So at eighteen is mostly done. The cat in milk and water soaks,
And then in twelve short years he croaks. The dog at 15 cashes in,
Without the aid of rum or gin. Your Modest sober, bone-dry Hen,
Lays eggs for Nogs, then dies at ten. All Animals are strictly dry,
They sinless live and swiftly die. But sinful, Ginful, beer soaked men,
Survive for three score years and ten. While some of us, though mighty few,
Stay sozzled till we're ninety-two. (Origin unknown)
