Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lays of Chinatown and Other Verses Epistle Dedistory At Colligan´s - no matter where - I would not wish to send you there, Believing that, of things accurst, A thirst for liquors is the worst - For though they warm the winter´s shiver, They poison kidneys, heart, and liver, And used without the proper gumption, Oft end in galloping consumption. It, therefore, hardly would agree With ethics for a true M.D. To indirectly send a man Within a rod of Colligan - For John has beer so rich and good, It is a sort of liquid food, And ale so musty, old, and prime, To spill a drop would be a crime, And gin and brandy superfine - But, oh! his whisky is divine! So ripe with age, through wood so mellow, ´Twould make a churl a genial fellow, And stop worst enemies of their quarrel, With not a headache in a barrel; But, still, whene´er in friendly drinking, Where drunkards go, keep ever thinking, If Satan´s chain does e´er adorn you, ´Tis your own fault, for here I warn you. This counsel not for humorous scoff is, ´Twould cost two dollars in my office - And seldom do I give advice Without I also ask my price.
