Poetry Day: Boozing with Fiction

(This was a fun one I put together long ago.  Wanted to see how many types of alcohol I could use before I ran out of steam.)

Drink tequila with a pixie

To say no would be quite risky

Chug vodka with a gnome

You may never find your home

Down jager with a wight

It will help to stop your fright

Slurp whiskey with a dragon

Who will grant you his best flagon

Guzzle beer with a troll

Enough will pay his toll

Swallow absinthe with an elf

You might trick him from his wealth

Gulp scotch with an imp

Prepare to wake up with a limp

Pound moonshine with the reaper

He is now your keeper
