A Night to Remember
By @thehattedtomfool
The bars a pumping,
drinks a drunking,
spilling to the night.
Dancing through the streets abuzz
and everything's all right.
The parties swinging,
ears a ringing,
laughter on the lips.
The cops are rolling down the hill,
the scales are on the tips!
The smiles are lost,
the parties ghost,
and drinkers charge away!
The lights are blaring through the night,
the swearing's on display.
The fights begin,
they're fuelled by gin.
The police are quick to mark.
The cuffs are set upon the wrists
and thrown to vans by dark.
The night is spent
so free of rent,
the jailhouse doors are set.
The smiles return with dawn release
from a night they wont forget.
