Isaac Asimov
Drinking gin
There was once was a girl who drank gin.
That isn't too bad to begin,
But reiteration
Shows a high correlation
With behavioral lapses called sin.
On John Ciardi
To make friends with the lumpish John Ciardi
Needs a spirit uncouth, rough, and hardy.
When in line for a bit
Of amusement and wit—
Did he get it? Why, no, he was tardy.
