From Cedar Ridge to Hunter's Glen |
Down Rowan's Creek, round Pinckney Bend |
Past Noah's Mill, along to Glenfiddich; |
Many have been on that Copper Run |
|
Since Early Times, seeing Eagle Rare |
Watching the Old Crow and the Fighting Cock |
Giving a wise nod to the White Owl and the Wild Turkey |
Receiving a friendly wave from the Famous Grouse |
|
Many a stranger becomes a friend - I can think of a few |
Jack Daniel, Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker |
And some adopted families too - |
Bells, O'Briens, O'Neills, Jamesons |
|
Sailing Three Ships, even the Cutty Sark |
In Liquid Sun, Northern Light and Moonshine. |
Smelling Four Roses and applauding the Dancing Pines |
Some dodged the Red Hook, found their Green Spot |
|
Felt the power of Ben Nevis, Yellowstone and the White House |
The confidence of Wall Street, 12 Volts and Ten High |
Yet some did drown in the Sheep Dip with a Monkey Shoulder |
As their 24 Carat, Pure Gold sadly ended in Writer's Tears. |
|
Companions are important on these journeys, so |
Choose the Red Stag, the Blue Bull, the Copper Fox |
A Silver Coyote, a Black Horse |
But avoid the Double Dog and The Black Dog, if you can |
|
Barley, corn, wheat, rye |
Single, blended, malt |
Cask and Barrel |
All in their own way unique. Rich and Rare |
|
Many choices, many flavours |
Many experts, many preachers |
It's 8pm - Time to travel and learn |
So, I think I'll start with Teacher's |
