A Fraternal Bond

A bar in Ireland is the scene we set

And Sean, a stranger, enters at full trot.

He asks the barman if three pints he'd get

Then sits down on his own and drinks the lot!

When quizzed about this habit he would say -

"T'is but a pact I've made with brothers two

For, living in their countries far away,

This will, if shared, cause bonding to renew."

But then one day just two pints he would flaunt,

Thus barman quite concerned there'd been a death

And, smitten with him, this idea did haunt

So questions him with fear and bated breath.

"My brothers both so well, in health remain

But I, today, from drinking will abstain!"
