Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Pick Me Up

I had a bit too much to drink,
Walking home very late at night.
With gin bottle, I'm tickled pink.
I stop there in the road to light
A cigarette, and think I heard
A loud train whistle nearby blast.
Then it all happens quick and blurred,
As that freight train goes zooming past.
The next thing that I know, I wake
Up in the ER with a doc
Asking me if I hurt. I shake
My head yes, and think - gin would rock!

The doc then asks what caused my pain.
I say I tried to catch a train.
