A White Rum and Coke,
Two cubes of ice,
Tastefully decorated with
A fresh lemon slice.
First of the night
Lifted to the lips,
Appreciate the aroma,
Take a first little sip,
Then down the rest
Taken all in one,
Warmth in the stomach
The last hangover gone.
For all the rest
Dispense with the ice
Just the rum and coke,
No decorative slice.
The night starts swimming
In a sea of chat and faces.
The world is your oyster,
These your favoured places,
The world and his mate
Become your instant friend
Lovingly cherished until
That long night's end.
Awake in the morning
In a half empty bed,
Start off the day with
Thudding throbbing head.
Work through the shift
Trying not to think
Of the coming evening
And that day's first drink.
Just for a while
Not a single care
The alcohol killing
All sadness and despair
A White Rum and Coke
Two cubes of ice
Tastefully decorated with
A fresh lemon slice.
