Magpie #195 The Season of Overindulgence

Autumn on the River 1889
John Singer Sargent

There once was a lass named Susie
Who loved drinking lots of brewskis
With an icebag on her head
She should have been in bed
As she's feeling really quite woozy

Thanks to Tess Kincaid for providing yet another 
fine image to prod our imaginations-

    Nicely done.

    Have a fabulous day Kathe. Big hugs. :)

  5. I don't think I'd want to recover from too much drinking in a rocking boat. Take care.

  9. There's probably an interesting reason why she ended up where she is, if she could only remember it!
