Drunk as a skunk

A badger in Berlin, named Jerry
One fine day hogged many a cherry
It left him so fuddled
On the road he lay huddled
As the traffic whizzed past him - how scary!

His head feeling heavy like lead,
He lay on the road as if dead.
The cops used a broom
And saved him from doom--
"I've been swept off my feet", Jerry said.
