A noggin is never enough

Poetry, Word of the Day 1 Minute

Sometimes you just want a noggin

A swift one that just hits the spot

Something to just wet your whistle

A quick one just for the road.

The trouble alas with a noggin

Is a noggin is never enough

You think your not up for a session

But the noggin just sets you off.

You can’t beat the taste of the first one

The feel as it slips down your throat

But it just sets you up for the next one

The noggin will just start you off.

It’s hard to remember the noggin

Will just be the first of a few

You just popped in for a noggin

What’s a poor drinker to do?

    1. Hi it’s not a word in common use as such but immediately evokes a drinker from a particular social class and age group. Noggin for head is probably even less used( so many other terms: conk, nut etc.
