Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Swinger

I once hopped on board a showboat,

Rode down the mighty Mississipp.

I partied hearty while afloat.

No round of free drinks did I skip.

In the showboat's main ball room hung

A huge and fancy chandelier.

I climbed up, grabbed it, and then swung,

Bottle in hand with Tarzan cheer.

That chandelier did take a toll,

Into the river it did fall,

Leaving behind a gaping hole.

But rescuers rescued us all.

I got tossed into jail still drunk,

Blamed for the fact that showboat sunk.
