The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Gin Soaked Granny

You think that she’d have learned by now, to hide it
                    But no, and those around her must abide it
Sometimes, we'd like to knock her off her fanny
        ‘Cause we all know, she’s just a Gin Soaked Granny

She stumbles in out and out of bed all morning
                     and never will she heed our sober warning 
before she drinks, she’d better read that label
                        the bottle she left somewhere on a table

For Gin Soaked Grannies always need their glasses
            and sometimes they forget with time that passes 
that yesterday, the rats she killed with liquor
                  should she drink, would only make her sicker
