A Gnashing of Teeth II

                                                                 THE HIGHBALL

There is something they put in a highball, that awakens the torpidest brain -
That kindles a spark in the eyeball, gliding, singing thru vein after vein.
There is something they put in a highball, which you'll notice one day if you watch -
And it may be the soda, but judged by the odor, I rather believe it's the SCOTCH.
