An ode to Old Monk

You have been around…
You sure have seen it all…
Stood the test of time…
And still you stand tall!

You are the black sheep…
The darkest that I have met…
And today you wait your turn…
in the Colonel’s cabinet…

Once the age and moolah came in…
He just left you behind…
Moved on to ‘finer’ stuff…
Of the single malt kind!

We shall bring you back…
You’ll never go out of fashion…
Strong is our commitment…
And such is our passion!

You’ve stuck around with us…
Through thick and through thin…
Have always been around…
For that Friday night sin!

We are always happy to see you…
And you never let us down…
The finest drink in the nation…
Who else could wear that crown???

You still have quite an audience…
Ask the ex-pats who so crave…
For a sip of their beloved XXX…
That makes them misbehave!

You’ll always be in demand…
You’ll always be in style…
For that magnificent little bottle…
Always bring home a smile!

This is an ode…
To the best rum of all…
A ‘thank you’ if you will…
For this brilliant alcohol!

‘42.8% Alcohol’ reads the label…
Its very potent, believe you me…
One whiff of the stuff…
And you’ll be a lifelong devotee!
