Billy and Bobby were chatting away
They paused when the servers came in
More empty bottles were added to the crate
Bobby warmly greeted his fellow Bordeaux bottles
They outnumbered the local vineyard by two to one
Billy made fun of the Bordeaux crowd
Saying they will all lose their fancy labels soon
When they get filled with the local wine
The dinner party ended and the kitchen staff cleaned up
Soon all the staff had gone and the house went quiet
The crate of empty bottles started to talk
They all knew each other from the wine cellar
Now they were empty it was time to party
A few of the bottles raided the fridge for leftovers
While Billy and Bobby looted the drinks cabinet
They laid all the food on the kitchen table
While chugging shots of the finest malt whisky
Oh my said Bobby this stuff is really powerful
Be careful said Billy you are only used to drinking wine
Bobby ignored his advice and was soon totally hammered
They devoured all the leftovers and demolished the whisky
Somebody turned on the radio and the dancing started
They danced on the chairs and on the counter tops
It got crowded when they all danced on the table
One of the Claret bottles started to break dance
He was spinning and doing back flips
All the other bottles watched from the edge of the table
Everybody was clapping to the music and laughing
A Bordeaux bottle lost his balance and fell from the table
Crashing onto the kitchen floor and breaking
Somebody turned the music off and they all went quiet
The poor old Bordeaux bottle was now just chards
One of the bottles started to weep
Everybody back in the crate now yelled Billy
I can hear footsteps on the stairs
The kitchen door opened and a man in pajamas went to the fridge
He never even noticed the broken glass on the floor
Luckily he was wearing slippers and did not cut himself
He left soon after guzzling a carton of milk
The empty wine bottles all slept in a drunken stupor
Only to be rudely awoken the next morning
The kitchen staff were clearing up the mess
Complaining about the master of the house and his midnight feasts
Somebody picked up the crate of empty wine bottles
Where are we going now asked Billy
Bobby was afraid to answer as he feared they were all heading to the trash
