George Hunter - A Fifth On The Fourth

I didn’t make
This up
But I’ve heard it
Since
I was a pup.

A little reminder
For the holiday
In case you’re
Inclined to go
Astray.

“He who drinks a
Fifth on the Fourth
May not be able
To go Forth on the Fifth”

A little advice for you
How true it is, how true.

George Hunter
