This happened a few years back and the other juvenile of the piece is often seen on these pages.
I call this.....

Self-Evict Convicts!

We went to a little pub last night,
With intentions of tanking up allright,
Over philosophical smokes,
Just the couple of us blokes,
Raved and ranted and attempted,
several metaphysical thoughts demented,
We finished our beers, one a mite faster than his peer,
But that is to be expected said the slower one, for all the alcoholic tales you've spun,
We must have a couple more, otherwise it'll be like never before,
But the wallets hang a little light, splurge now and tie our belts tight?

Oh that is for later to think, now let us just concentrate and drink!

So we drank some more, blithe spirits unthinking,
Daily paper crossword solvers, we could have both been,
Living like we were drinking, blithe spirits unthinking.
Order something cheap to eat, this is a rather meagre treat,
But it'll have to do, for it'll feed another round of golden brew.
So a small bowl of green peas, gives our stomachs some small relief.

Topical reruns, old strains but new trials,
Too tired to talk about, talks which we could do without,
Slow conversation, thoughtful parleys with oneself,
Sequential trips to the men's room, results in a new joke in full bloom,[most pubs here dont need a ladies room..the ladies room board gets me going everytime!!]
Squeeze dry the thought, laugh a lot...
Slow conversation once more, knowing we could feel deja vu if we ignored the realization,
Decision made, no more honey marmalade!

We must go for dinner someplace, good food and more taste!
But the money crunch, we wont have enough to buy tomorrow's lunch!!!
Lets ignore it again, and get some coastal andhra cocaine!Yes!
We are in agreement, our thoughts concurrent.
Lets ask for the cheque, (what a pain in the neck!)
I look for the head waiter, and i shine when the thought hits me square,
Listen dear friend of mine, when did we last do something practical and asinine??
You mean, you don't mean, No! Ok, lets see it through!!!
So sequentially again, we were'nt that poor, but we shot right out of the door!!!!
