An Ode to Whiskey and Coke

An Ode to Whiskey and Coke


Whiskey and Coke you set me free,

You make me happy, funny, but mostly me

Nothing but good comes from your drink

Its time to pay you an honor, so let us think

Of the good times, the rough times, the times in between

So my fellow readers can know what I mean

About your wonderful taste, your encouraging ways

About why I am so fucking hungover on most weekend days


It all started when I went to visit Mr. JD

On a trip with a friend to Lynchburg, Tennessee

Your smell was intoxicating, your taste first-class

From the minute you hit my lips, I was addicted at last

Since that fateful trip many years ago,

It is your strength and encouragement I have gotten to know


You have given me courage I might not have had

You have turned me from good to very very bad

We have stayed up late and danced with the best

We have woke up hungover , wishing for rest


You ve allowed friends to bond in original ways

You ve promoted the Chocolate Thunder Kiss and the streaking ways

Because of you, I ll never look at an ice machine again, in quite the same way

But that ice machine memory is one of my favorite days
