I must say whoever came up with this concept must have been insane!

I woke up this morning with the brown bag flu,

And I’m sick as a dog from too many brews;

But you know what they say “Hair of the Dog”,

I poured me a beer, to rid my mind of this fog;

My stomach is churning but I soldier on,

Praying soon that this headache is gone;

It seems to me I only made it worse,

Someone please call me a nurse;

Hair of the dog sure did me in,

And I swear I’m never drinking again.

    Nice poem. I’ve never heard of this expression. Does that mean to drink to get rid of the hangover?

    Yeah, it means you just keep drinking and you’ll never get a hangover. It doesn’t work, lol
