Gin Slings In Singapore

It baffles me

I’ve got to say

Why anyone would want to pay

Twenty pounds or more

For a drink in Singapore

And, before you say “Hey!

Wait a minute!”,

I can see no sense at all in it!

“It’s Raffles!” They said

With grins on their faces

As big as that of the Cheshire cat!

“It’s the gin sling!

It’s the in thing

For a girl on the town in

Singapore!”

So there I sat

Across from them

And I watched them

As down their throats

They slung their slings

With grins on their faces

As big as the boat

Atop the Marina Bay

Sands Hotel!
