Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Summer; Wine
Six choc'late milkshakes ready to drink
(All the little flappers blew bubbles in their sodas).
Glug! go the straws as the milkshakes sink.
Click go the checks for the six that follow...
Twelve choc'late milkshakes being drunk there
(All the little flappers go gurgley, gurgley).
No wonder for dinner they don't much care;
They couldn't possibly unless they were hollow.
