Don'T Go For the Gusto

“ahoy there!, have you some beer” “I’ve been sitting on the deck here” “the engine coughed then hit the dust” “no paddles on board which is a must” Hello me mate I hear you want some beer that seems strange not to say a little ***** putting beer in the engine would upright your toes you would not sail again for there she blows. If you need a tow I’ll throw you some lines I have no beer but I do have some wines these are the best from a California grape yard It’s y rope or wine that’s mild not hard “I’d rather have the wines to sail in the breeze “I have sails to rise and wine would be good with my cheese” You’d not go far with the winds slowing down my last offer is to bring you to shore. “I’ve been a captain on these sailing rigs “I need beer for the engine and some for my swigs” you guzzle some beer there won’t be a cheer you’ll be lost at sea, your calls no one will hear here take these bottles, you can wine and dine I’ll toss in some nuts, you’ll be just fine but don’t put beer in the engine and never Smirnoff else you won’t be cracking nuts when you blast off
