Do You Fancy a Drink? Marc Gunn

Gin, vodka, bourbon, rum
Scotch, wine, mead and ale
Beer in bottles, glasses, pints
In colors dark and pale

“Do you fancy a drink?”
The barkeep called
His hand upon the tap
I pulled up a stool
And joined him there
A maid upon my lap

I raised my glass
To toast the drink
Whatever form it takes
There’s nothing finer
This wide world ’round
Than the stuff the brewer makes

Whoever first made
Hops to beer
Was such a clever sort
The only drink
That’s better is a
Lovely glass of port
