Robert W Service - A SnifterRobert W Service - A Snifter
Work rating: Low


After working hard all day           In the office, How much worse on homeward way           My old cough is! Barney`s Bar is gaily lit,           Let me stop there; Just to buck me up a bit           Have a drop there. As I stand beside the screen           Hesitating, I have thought of how Noreen           Will be waiting; Baby Patsy in her lap           Gay and laughing, While at Barney`s foaming tap           I am quaffing. Barney`s Bar is mighty bright,           Looks so cheery. Wonder what I`ll drink tonight?           Gee! I`m weary. Will I have Scotch or Rye?           Bourbon maybe . . . Then I see with mental eye           Wife and baby. So I say `tis malted milk           I`ll be skoffin`; Sooth my throttle sleek as silk,           Ease my coughin` . . . Say, I love them two to death,           Sure they miss me: With no whisky on my breath           How they`ll kiss me!
