I fell off my stool in the pub last night,
A truly fantastic, yet sobering sight!
With legs akimbo I sailed through the air,
Heard my wife scream, and then watched the pub stare!
"It isn't my fault!" was the thought in my head
As I sailed through the air thinking: "I'll soon be dead…"
The problem you see was we'd taken the dog,
(He lies at my feet as I sample the grog…),
We'd tied the dog's lead round the leg of my stool,
(Oh, why did we do that? I feel such a fool!)
For as I was supping, it came through the door,
A bloody great mastiff you couldn't ignore!
I heard my dog growling, and told him to shush,
But then my dog launched himself, all of a-rush!
He took my stool with him, I flew in the air,
(I wish I'd been using a heavier chair!)
I flew through the air, since he'd caught me off-guard,
Flew through the air and then hit the floor hard...
The one saving grace that I took from this fall?
I'd not spilt my beer, no, not one drop at all!
I sat up and raised my glass, finished my beer,
At which point the guys in the pub gave a cheer!
I stood up and leaned on the bar with its ales,
And looked at the dogs (now both wagging their tails…),
I turned to my wife with the hint of a grin:
"I think it's your round dear, so go get 'em in!"
