On the Rocks

Scotch and love on the rocks both hard to swallow one can bring tears to the eyes the other tears from your heart one easy to walk away from the other impossible to outdistance one mellows with time the other will always feel like just yesterday one takes you gently the other can take you to your knees one easy to look forward to the other can take you completely by surprise one allows you to toast your fortune the other to forever recall a treasure lost one may take a day to get over the other you may never get over one can be done alone the other takes just two one can be stirred the other can shake your very soul one is measured by age alone the other can happen regardless of age one is referred to with words of respect the other of words you regret forever you get to choose the one from the other Irish
