The deputy drinks
Scotch from a bottle-



with painted nails 
and a giggle...

Are the things little girls do together
On warm sunny summer days....

scotch in the man cave

The Mouse glanced at his watch
The chime struck ten

And opened up his Scotch...

and pushed me into a ditch,
crying for the home I lost....

And gulped it down in one;
She knew the answer wasn’t booze -
But dying wasn’t fun.

Regrettably drank all the Scotch
His wife made it clear
She did not like beer
With a fearsome kick to his crotch....

the children playing hop-scotch on my arm
have give way
to the crow.
I am in here
I am in here
If only I knew where or when or how....

who sought for himself a good wife.

and drinks Scotch every day of his life....

As a pole-vaulter he was top-notch.
But on one faulty try
he became a soprano guy,
having been poled crack-on in the crotch....

Abiding in solemn Scotch mists 
Components of an overwhelming tempest 
Seek shelter before thrash out
Or dance under the rain chuck down...

who had an unsightly demeanor
he took pics of his crotch
after two shots of scotch  
"Where's his wife? Well nobodies seen her."...

Her mum sat there and tried not to watch
Then mum's face turned red 
As she softly said,
"She thinks that is where I get my Scotch"...

10am in the morning
10pm to bed at night
10 year old scotch
10 degrees of separation
10 of clubs
10 days vacation
10 dinner guest's
10 perfect
10 fold
10 good reason's...

He vowed to stop drinking so much scotch.
But that wasn't to blame
the cause was clearly plain.
His gut needed a belt with a new notch....

After the rain
My friend used to say
On those long rainy days
In Sydney

And a good bottle of scotch
I think that kind of love
Hurts like a paper cut....

Sand slipping through her fingers
Of wasted times and jilted lovers
Sat with her spaniel on the porch
Poured herself a nice little scotch
Faithful to each other they were
As a doe and a deer...
