Libation to Mars

The Wordle

SUNDAY WHIRL
asks us to use all the words above


LIBATION TO MARS

It had certainly been a big night,
And Bill was in trouble, all right.
He had poured a libation of wine
Or seven, or eight, maybe nine!
To the gods he had sacrificed sense
And now his regret was immense.
The accident gave him a jolt;
It hit like a great lightning bolt!
Bill thought he could handle the car
But 'thought' doesn't get you too far.
His victim accused and abused
But our drinker was very confused.
A cop came to settle the case;
He was charged with a great fall from grace.
'You've drunk plenty' ....this came from the cop;
Then he asked ' Did you not think to stop?
Drink-driving has taken its toll;
Now abstinence must be your goal.
The way that you handle your cars
Is just like a spaceman from Mars!'
Slurred Bill 'That is my explanation!
'Twas to Mars that I made the libation!'

UPRISING

Out of the shadows, into the light.
Out of the dull and into the bright.
Walking doesn't take much skill
But what a pity it's all uphill!

Very clever! I'm discovering that there is a lot of drinking going on in these wordles today. Mine included.
