It happens every Wednesday,

At our favorite pub, you see,

A grand form of entertainment,

And participation of course, is free.

“Questionable Activities”

Is the name by which it goes,

A chance to see between the beers,

Just how much we know.

Drinks are bought when we arrive,

And by seven we form our teams,

Something a wee bit suggestive,

To embarrass Drew it seems.

Drew, you know, is the master of ceremonies,

The questions are all his,

They cover many topics,

And at stumping us, he’s a whiz.

So we settle into concentration,

On the first round as it starts,

With any luck it’s stuff we know,

Or believe deeply in our hearts.

Sometimes the knowing things,

Just isn’t quite enough,

If your team has cause to doubt you,

Can you persuade or bluff?

Then comes the half-time question,

It’s a chance to get ahead,

With a few more points offered,

And they’ll stand you in good stead.

Then on we go to the second half,

And the question are a bit more tough,

We do the best we can,

And we hope we know our stuff.

And then the fourth segment,

“The Dark and Bloody Round”,

It’s only questions about Kentucky,

And experts on the state expound.

And the final bonus question,

Well, it finishes out the game.

We place our bets on what we know,

And then we place the blame.

Then the points are all totaled,

And the prizes are all paid,

And if there aren’t too many on your team,

Your bar tab has been made.

We have ourselves one more round,

And discuss the finer points of the game,

“Who was that guy in question three?

“ I can’t recall his name.”

And we speculate about who played fairly,

And who maybe was in cahoots,

But you know that’s just the way it goes,

In these trivial pursuits.
