Here’s Mud in your Eye

adashofsunny Prompt Nights – Sûrement vous plaisantez – Surely you jest
“Tonight, let’s have some fun. Write a poem or prose regarding the subject of humor, pun or satire.”

Dorothy Parker likes her Pink Lady
cause she favors the flavor of gin
“Bottoms up” she grins wickedly
and raises her glass to the men.
She knows she can match them
glass for glass…. and win.
No argument there, they yell
we’ll take it on the chin,
cause if we try to match you,
they’ll be informing our next of kin!

 

Dorothy Parker is frequently remembered for her witty quips and famous friends, spending hours at the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan drinking, lunching and talking about culture. Legend has it that she spent most her nights, and days, drinking and cracking jokes with the likes of Robert Benchley, Irvin S. Cobb, and Ernest Hemingway. She is so famous for her imbibing that entire cocktail guides have been dedicated to her legacy.
