Animal Spirits

“If you were asked to guess the heaviest drinker in the animal kingdom, you might pick the mighty elephant or the beer-and wine-loving human. You’d be wrong, because pound for pound the biggest boozer is the hamster.” The Week

Cute and cuddly I think you’d describe

The hamster and all of his tribe.

But believe it or not,

He’s really a sot

Who will liters of liquor imbibe.

Aquinas wired

I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
