I’ll never forget the holiday I took to Grenada
Where spices grow with all the colours of a rainbow
Golden beaches as far as the eye can see
The rum is what really grabbed my attention
One sip of Rivers blew my damn head off
Another sip got me into the bar
Where a local shoved a bottle into my hand
“Drink. Babash put chest on your chest.”
I couldn’t find any reason to argue with his logic
“Drink. Babash makes men strong.”
I’m pretty sure I tasted gasoline and cola nuts
“Drink. You’ll be as randy as a stoat in summer.”
I don’t remember what happened next
But I woke up next to my wife in the morning
And she seemed pretty satisfied
