Tippling

Though I'm no heavy drinker I admit

That off and off I've tippled, so to speak;

Enjoying a good drink is quite legit.

The trick is to know when its time to quit

If not the outcome can be somewhat bleak,

Though I'm no heavy drinker I admit.

It can be rather pleasant just to sit

And relax after a harrowing week.

Enjoying a good drink is quite legit.

And there are times I feel I need a bit

Of strength so I can turn the other cheek,

Though I'm no heavy drinker I admit.

A shot of Baileys usually does it;

No rum or brandy they both make me weak.

Enjoying a good drink is quite legit.

And so every now and then I permit

Myself a glass of Baileys, smooth and sleek.

Though I'm no heavy drinker I admit

Enjoying a good drink is quite legit.
