Messatonia

by Charles E Minshall

Ninety nine cases of wine in the hall
Their bottles empty I drank them all.
Around the house in every nook and cranny
Empty bottles are found I drank too many.
The one thing that I must confess
Empty bottles make the house a mess.

That's why I hide mine in the basement, until the booze delivery guy comes round and picks up the empties. Charles, maybe we were brothers in another life. ;o)
