Once upon a time there was a girl
from a country famous for its alcohol.
She went to parties and challenged
men to competitions, drinking shots and cocktails
and beer and wine. But
she in fact had none of her nation's
legendary tolerance for poison.
She ended up sick, and fell over
every night. Her friends got used to the sight
of her underwear and the sound
of her apologies. Then
at one lucky party she met a handsome drunk
and they talked and laughed for hours.
But that's as much as she could remember.
