To start it all off, there's a drink that's supreme,
a properly mixed kahlua and cream
We can move on to Jack and have a ball,
the Lynchburg Lemonade, loaded with alcohol.
There's also a mudslide, a sex on the beach,
a vodka and cranberry, and schnapp's made of peach,
a seabreeze, kamikazee, singapore sling,
in combination, will make your head ring.
There's buttery nipples, and rums with coke,
their bound to make you the butt of a joke.
Then there's the big guns, like long island iced tea,
after drinking just one it's fuzzy to see.
Alabama slammer in a glass very tall,
can cause even the most experienced to trip and to fall.
Harvey Wallbangers can ring in a night,
you'll surely be feeling plenty alright!
There's margarita's and daquiri's, a sloe gin fizz,
maddog and screwdrivers can make your throat sizz.
Mimosa, Blue Hawaii, B52,
and who could forget the sloe comfortable screw?
There's lemondrops and jello shots, amaretto sours,
drinks that leave you with nothing but a feeling of power.
So many drinks, so little time,
a nice gin and tonic with a little twist of lime.
Drinks on the rocks, beers of all kind,
I could go on forever, but I'd run out of rhyme.
In closing I feel it's responsible to say,
have a good time but remember how to play,
If you've had to much, hand over the keys,
sticking to that, have another please!

Very good..  

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
