When Franky got drunk,
he got crazy
beer muscles as if
on super steroids
would fight anyone
even drunk he never lost
often when under the influence
he’d say he could kick the shit
out of a polar bear at our local zoo
his friends thought that was funny
250 pound Franky going
mano a mano with
a 900 pound polar bear
except one night when Franky
said he was going home
after getting crazy drunk
he drove to the zoo instead
in the news the next day
the police reported a man broke
the polar bear’s jaw
before the polar bear
tore the man to pieces
at least Franky got a good
sucker punch in. RIP Franky.
