I want you to write a short poem that could be used as either a toast or a drinking song. Something slightly silly or not, with a meaning or not. It's up to you.
An example of something I wrote that would fit this contest (although you don't need to lean this way):
Drink solid, drink long,
Drink to the past
And drink to tomorrow;
Drink to your friends,
And drink to your foes,
Drink solid, drink long.
Rules:
1. No sticky caps.
2. No cursing, erotica, or porn.
3. Nothing spewing hate.
4. No more than 20 lines.
5. When writing it, imagine singing it or reading it while drinking with friends. It doesn't have to be ABOUT drinking. Just something fun and weird (not twisted or random weird).
6. You have to try a little. Look up drinking songs on the internet for more tips as to what to do. I don't just want some poem. I want something I'd use with friends while drinking casually. I'm going to be very picky about this.
7. Have a good time... that's the whole point!
8. Can submit as many as you want.
9. No prewrites allowed.
10. I really don't care if you read any of my poetry or anyone else's who enters. I really hate it when people make that a rule in their contests and tend to just move on when they require it. If you want notes, get constructive ones by featuring or shameless plugging instead of forcing people to note and getting tons of meaningless notes to fill the requirnment.
11. To prove you read the rules, tell me your favorite alcoholic beverage in your comments. If you don't drink, tell me that instead. I'll dq you for not putting this info down there.
I'll stop ranting. Enter away!
