From Soft Drinks To the Strong
An Indomitable Appetite for Coke
And unstoppable Eater of Egg’s Yolk
Now a full-time Vodka Folk
Who’d a lot of Junk stoke
And keep cracking the oddest jokes;
A way of fighting his scary yoke:
Laughter, twitters and A Toad’s Croak?
Merry tears would his eyes soak
And only last night into a song broke
That poor me rudely awoke …
And I was dying to hit The Bloke
But-Lo!-for minutes freeing cigarette smoke
And pausing to his right ribs poke
And walrus moustache stroke …
From Soft Drinks to The Strong
Dead to pleas to take same as wrong.
