antlers methuselah dahlia evasive struggle transfuse
residual barkeep the fourth rule pluck presentiment evil

there was always a
presentiment of not evil
but evasiveness about the barkeep
looking almost as old
as  methuselah
in need of a blood transfusion

even wearing
christmas antlers
and a santa suit
residual of last night's
boozy party
did not make him look
 jolly

customers struggled
to keep a straight face
at his ridiculous get up

one  broke the fourth rule
and placed a yellow dahlia
behind his ear as a joke
the plucky young girl
immediately wished
she hadn't

he stormed off into the night
was not found until morning
