A Pabst Blue Ribbon Year
-"What'll you have?"
 
 

       I.
Mrs. Johnson passed away last year.
Doc, I'll have my beer test now,
she would say, legs spread for a pap smear.

 

        II.
This smiling barber always says
               
Hey handsome,
don't hold it against me if you get raped by a beautiful woman on your way
                                                                                         down to the bar.

And sometimes
              
 Good luck
                             with your prostate, hope it all works out in your favor.

And the old patron with hair on his boots
               laughing,
                            Well,                if not,               they have a place for us.
