Or maybe not...

Where do old cartoon characters go?

In a bar in Muskogee,
Boo Boo and Yogi
are drinking rum with Ranger Smith.
Down the back, Hong Kong Phooey
drains another Drambuie
and orders another forthwith.

sings songs by Edith Piaf,
while Quick Draw McGraw
lies drunk on the floor
and Snagglepuss orders another carafe.

is starting to dribble
but Top Cat and Benny don’t care.
At the bar, Mr. Jinks
is ordering drinks
but Foghorn’s asleep in the chair.

and Elmer Fudd nods his assent,
and a drunken Dick Dastardly
looks around plasteredly,
wondering where in the world Muttley went.

when kids of today much prefer Mario?

drinks his own special brew,
the Tasmanian Devil’s on gin.

The Pink Panther is falling
from his barstool down onto the ground.
But they all turn to look
when a drunk Daffy Duck
makes amorous advances to Huckleberry Hound.

Speedy Gonzales has gone very slow.
Sylvester and Tweetie
call everyone sweetie
and ask for a nickel to go.

Professor Pat Pending
appears to be spending
a penny in the communal po.
