I think Scotch should be illegal! What is it that you do not get? I just don't like the taste of it! Scotch just doesn’t suit me well I do not even like the smell. Give me wine or give me beer But don’t talk to me when Scotch is near.

I won’t drink Scotch; I’m not foolin’ I won’t drink Scotch all by myself With you or anybody else I hate the smell I hate the taste To serve ME Scotch Would be a WASTE!
Well!! You don’t have to cause a scene Just try a sip, see what I mean It’s really not that bad, at all Don’t drink the bar stuff, drink the call All the ‘Glens’ are really nice Drink them neat, add 1 cube ice One ice cube brings out the taste Two or more would be a waste. Try just a sip, and you will see Then you might drink a Scotch with me.

I grew up reading Dr. Seuss, and, like most kids, loved the playfulness of his words. Dedicated to Theodore Seuss Geisel. I hope that he liked Scotch!
