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.
