Used to drink Pernod
Till my insides, an inferno
Said ‘No’
Schooners of sherry
Soon as merry
Sick, very
So I drank rum
Yo ho ho as they come
Sore bum
What’s nice is
Gin with lemon slices
Made me grin. Did me in
Turned to lager (Special Brew)
Went gaga
So will you
Downed tequila
Soon down at heel, ah
It’s a killer
Odd dram of malt
Gave the old liver a jolt
Called a halt.
Mineral water
Herb tea
Beers (alcohol-free)
Cheers! I deserve a pat on the back…
(Next year maybe give up cocaine and smack.)
