A Drunkard cannot meet a Cork
Without a Revery -
And so encountering a Fly
This January Day
Jamaicas of Remembrance stir
That send me reeling in -
The moderate drinker of Delight
Does not deserve the spring -
Of juleps, part are in the Jug
And more are in the joy -
Your connoisseur in Liquours
Consults the Bumble Bee -
