There was a young poet called Kevin
Who said “I may not get to heaven.
But I shall write
Throughout the night,
And get drunk by half-past seven”!

There Was A Young Man From My Local
There was a young man from my local
Who maintained that he was wholly teetotal.
Each day he would sup,
From his tea cup
And he wabbled as he left my local …

A person who is teetotal never drinks alcohol.
The character in the above limerick is, of course wholly ficticious in nature).

With a wag and a grin.
And paws all wet and muddy!
