Sweet Susie got drunk, thought she'd try
To dance on a table nearby,
Attention she caught,
Showed more than she ought,
"Nice legs", said a guy passing by.
Those words as a compliment taking
She thanked him, but he said just joking,
"I didn't mean yours
But the table's of course,
For taking your weight without breaking!"
She was hurt, he felt so contrite,
Tried hard to make things alright,
She said for sure
She'd get drunk no more,
D'you think they will wed? they just might!

@BelleStarr I wish that too. Age is no barrier to having fun, is it?

People often do silly things when drunk...
And you never fail to make us laugh with your limericks. I so wish you would publish those limericks or something. I would buy it right away. I so want to keep them as a reminder.
I can't be sure that they will be married. Maybe date for a while then see where things go.

@jaboUK I wasn't kidding. And there aren't daft... I was serious about keeping them as reminders. Maybe tell them to my future kids if I have any...

Oh what images come to mind with this one .... just imagining a drunk trying to get up on a table would be hilarious. If the drunk made it up on that table welll just think of the laughs we'd all get 
You come up with the funniest scenarios
Are you still in Spain? I'm betting you're having so much fun.

@crazyhorselady What? Dancing on the bar was encouraged? Lol - did you ever do it yourself, or would that be telling too much?

My goodness, Janet. Now that you can type these so easily, or so it seems, some humor is sneaking out. Course, many of us have gotten a good chuckle out of other limericks of yours, but you keep surprising us/me when I least expect it.
Did those in the incident get together after their 'fight' too, or they just jump started your idea?
Btw, I got here via Barry, but I was on my way already. He just provided a direct link instead of me having to use the search option.

@MarshaMusselman The sight of a woman slightly the 'worse for wear' trying to get on a table was the trigger - the rest is from my imagination.

@jaboUK yes, getting on a table sober would be difficult enough, I'd imagine. Good trigger.

Oh lordy @jaboUK .
One thing is for sure
a table top I would ignore.
Too much jiggling
would have got the table wiggling
and sent me to the floor.

@PainsOnSlate Lol - I've never danced on a table either, so we've both missed out. All I saw was this woman trying to get on the table (and failing). That was the trigger, the rest is my imagination.
