Tales of Steam
Take me to the Hoon Banter Board
The Day of the Berrymen
'Twas the next morn still filled with the horn
Dreaming that he was inside her
The Berry awoke to find a Hoonish bloke
Passing him a can of cider
And their drinking game was never the same
When the Hoonerer entered the fray
For he did declare that each of them there
Would be steamed on that fine day
So there they did sit and got full of it
`Till the Hoonster came up with a plan
"We'll all chip off to get full of the scoff,
`Cause I'm gagging for some scram"
Full of flagon they jumped on the wagon
Filled with a ton of the speed,
But the Hoonerer was thinkin', 'bout what they'd be drinkin'
Wanting to get them all steamed.
"The Hoonster can drive, TJ by his side
Us three will drink in the back,
And I'll wager I'm bent if the glove compartment
Isn't filled with the Frosty Jack."
Taking a can the game soon began
As he took a gulp of the piss.
"He who does speak so much as a peep
Must also get full of this."
"And should any pass the flagonised flask
Without taking a sip
The drinking offence will be deemed immense
He must drink quite a bit".
Before very long they were roaring a song
Each a pissed as a fart
When the last can lay empty they'd drunk plenty
Squirrel halted the cart
Arrived at the pub and wanting some grub
They all fired in through the door
But to their dismay the landlord did say
"We're not serving food anymore".
Getting it right they stayed for a pint
Then 'twas back to the car
Filled with the pace they came by a place
Serving good food with a bar
Now the hoons here can boast their glorious roast
The best they've ever had
For the steamish Berry drunkenly merry
Paid for it all on his tab
After the feed the hoons all agreed
The Union for a wee dram
But scheming away the Berry turned gay
And plotted a little scam
Back at his house they spotted his rouse
He wanted another feed
Weak from the drinking without proper thinking
Berry'd succumbed to the greed
Setting their trap for the Berry kidnap
They bundled him into the car
Full of the speed their coup did succeed
They arrived at the union bar
Following his passion as had become fashion
The first round was ordered by Mike
But all stood aghast when they heard what he asked
"Barman, three pints of Snakebite"!
'Twas the hoons intention for that evening session
Them each to be out of their face
And it makes me glad to be able to add
No hoon fell from the pace
The Berry reborn (not gay anymore)
Played drinking games into the night
And the hoonerer's inclin' for downing his drinking
Saw him through many a pint
When the hoons were all drunk the last bevy sunk
They let out a hearty cheer
For each of them knew and I'm telling you
`T'been the most hoonish day of the year
Back at the cart the hoons they did part
And here our story does end
But I assure you of this you'll be oft' drinking piss
When you have the hoons for your friends
The Devil, 1998
