Alcohol makes humans do weird things.
I guess, after a point, we just want to feel young again. Alcohol helps with that. A few pegs down, my neighbours begin to think that they are young men and women. Once the booze really begins to flow, they begin revisiting their childhood. They are at it right now. I can see them holding on to each other and I can hear them making choo choo sounds – a human train. There goes the train, picking up speed. Okay, I think I need to be out there.
These old trains tend to derail faster…

Great take. I also picked up on the conga reference but couldn’t remember what it was called. I particularly liked the last line.
Best wishes,

I actually did not know that it was called a Conga Line as well. Thanks again for helping me learn something new! 😀

Alcohol certainly removes inhibition and men and women do things they would not do otherwise. Nice use of the prompt.

I got the feeling the narrator was a caretaker of some kind. A nurse at a nursing home perhaps, or the host at a reunion. I wish him luck in making sure the fun doesnt devolve into mayhem!
