Ode To Bourbon


Ode To Bourbon

It's 5 PM, your work is all done.
In your hands is 80 proof of that.
Time to relax with a charged glass or two,
Whether Jim Beam or Gentleman Jack.

If this life is giving you troubles,
You've been given the old Devils Cut.
To get it all back to Kentucky Gold,
Get a glass of Bookers in your gut.

Maybe your Wild Turkey is gobbling?
You're up Knob Creek without an oar?
Get Comfort from getting baked by Bakers;
And be most generous with the pour.

Be so careful not to Makers Mark,
When loading that one final Bulleit.
Taking aim with J.D's Single Barrel,
And shoot it down into your gullet!
