Drinking Poetry

Alcoholic A-Z

A is for ale.
Very light and pale.
It's an old man's tale.

B is for beer.
Of course, it's got to be here.
Always good to have one near.

C is for cider.
The tongue becomes a rider.
Makes the brain go wilder.

D is for Damascan Punch.
Goes well with your lunch.
The ice cubes pack a crunch.

E is for Egg nog.
A favourite for the cheeky frog
Who loves a Christmas snog.

F is for Fluffy Critter.
Never be a quitter:
It makes your mind glitter.

G is for gin
That I bought from Flynn.
Passing it down to my next-of-kin.

H is for Heineken,
Sold by the Chinamen,
And bought by the riflemen.

I is for ice.
Ice is a spice.
Ice makes all drinks nice.

J is for Jack Daniels
Travelling for miles
Filling up the aisles

K is for Kiwi Masquerade.
The glasses are on parade
For emergency hydration aid.

L is for liquor.
This wonderful ichor
Belongs to the vicar.

M is for Malibu
For when you're feeling blue,
And want to feel anew.

N is for Nutty Professor,
Drinking with a hairdresser
And the rainbow jester.

O is for Orange Blossom.
I've heard it's really awesome.
I should try some.

P is for Pina Colada
Consumed in an armada
On the coast of Granada

Q is for Queen Of Mexico.
The Queen's cocktail in Glasgow,
And royalty in Moscow.

R is for Raspberry Twist.
What I hold with my fist
Is the best flavour for anything kissed.

S is for sake,
You won't find in a cafe.
Easily led astray.

T is for Tequila,
As graceful as a ballerina
Inspired by the river Gila.

U is for Ultimate Indulgence.
No point in divulgence.
We want refulgence.

V is for vodka.
This drink deserves an Oscar.
It really is a star.

W is for wine!
Don't be a swine!
That drink is mine!

X is for... well X
Like the ones, you put in a text
Hoping that you don't bump into your ex.

Y is for, "You're barred!"
That's the red card
For eardrums scarred.

Z is for Zombie
I tried it in Dundee:
Ended up in an Irish palm tree.
