Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Electrifying Host

Ben Franklin dabbled in a lot.
One thing was electricity.
A personal trait that is not
Well known was that Ben loved to be
A practical joker, first rate.
Before serving drinks he would get
The glasses in a mild charged state;
Then serve his guests when all was set,
And propose a meaningful toast.
The mix of glasses, liquid and flesh
Would give the current a clear coast,
To offer more than mere refresh.

Ol' Ben watched as his guests took sips,
And giggled while juice zapped their lips.
