Andy and Steve's
Excellent Adventure
.
Now Steve and
Ted and Ernie, arrived from way back east,
From the land
where Western money, fuels Brian's money feast.
They came out
to the West Coast, to get some mountain air,
To ski the
Whistler Mountain, where the winter weather's fair.
.
They hooked
up with the relatives, almost all Vancouver Cops,
Apres ski all
primed for action, in a place that never stops.
So they picked
"The Savage Beagle", a club in Whistler town,
Ordered many,
many shooters, which they started tossing down.
.
Neither one
remembers, the number that they drank,
But the bill
on plastic money, showed one fifty for the bank.
The end result
for Andy, he began to puke his guts,
Right inside
the little club, drove the managers quite nuts.
.
He barfed out
in the parking lot, and honked beside the street,
Then almost
made a mess on, some Whistler Mountie's feet
So Steve grabbed
ahold of Andy, and poured him in the truck,
Then headed
for the condo, they might make it with some luck.
.
Six foot three
inch Andy, his red hair fairly glowed,
As he leaned
out of the window, puking on the passing road.
Back at the
place of residence, Doug went to check the chrome,
While Steve
would yell repeatedly, "Hi there kids, we're home".
.
They hoped
to get assistance, putting Andy into bed,
While Andy
dry heaved constantly, wishing he were dead.
He finally
passed out on the couch, his upset tummy gone,
Until the sunny
morning, when his hangover came on.
In the sky
towards the East, climbs the bright warm Summer sun,
The boys returned
so peacefully, their adventures not yet done.
The hardest
part for Andy, and this is going some,
Is to try to
keep this story, out of earshot of his Mom.
.
Now the word
leaks out from Ottawa, of Andy's starring role,
That he's planning
for a sequel, from his Tower of Control.
For release
sometime this summer, it will have you on your knees,
The title of
this blockbuster? A Weekend At Ernies.
