Drinks Poem by Ted Middleton

Drinks



The Russian loves his vodka
The German likes an ale
Jamaicans love a drink of rum
The Japs with saki pale
Italians love their vino
A Frenchman calls for wine
Pommies go for bitters
For Greeks its ouzo time
The Scots love drinking whiskey
Jim Beam the yanks have got
But Aussies show no favour mate
They drink the bloody lot!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I always liked humorous drinking songs and poems - probably
because I too drank and loved humour into the bargain. This
one is in that vein and I particularly like the 'flow' of it.
