The Hooch Cure Blues

By M. V. Sumner.

Bring me a dry Martini, waiter, and chase it with something that’s wet.

I went to a pink tea yesterday and I haven’t got over it yet.

I heard they’ve discovered the North Pole, waiter, Gee, I wish I had it here now,

They couldn’t come any too cold for me to put on my aching brow.

’Twas a stormy night at sea, waiter, and the waves ran mountains high,

Personally, I was souzed to the gills and today I am awfully dry.
