Two Fingers of Whiskey

I’ll take two fingers of whiskey please,

To quell the aches and sleep with ease.

Two fingers of whiskey to curb the pain.

Don’t look at me with such disdain.

Two fingers of whiskey, sir if you please,

To sooth the fire in my aching knees.

Two fingers of whiskey and not a drop more,

That golden liquid I truly adore.

Two fingers of whiskey: my fervent request,

To temper the volume of day-to-day stress.

Two fingers of whiskey I simply implore,

I’ll down it real quick, then head for the door.

Two fingers of whiskey: the elixir of life,

One for me sir, and one for my wife.

Two fingers of whiskey, a cure tried and true,

In no time at all, I’ll be good as new.
