Green Label

It was a heavy, mediocre whisky
Gilbey's Green Label
It would be years or a decade
Before I started drinking good whisky
And now my guts hurt when I do.

Some kind of heavy, sweet perfume too
Subtlety and taste were not your strong suites
It was a heavy, musky hangover
And if I'd spent more years like that
I'd be a terrible writer today.

The sort you like.
