Seb K - A short biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald

Defiant Canadian Club whiskeys in Hackensack
Then oceans of Ale in Great Neck
Western Champagne bought by a Frenchman in Trenton
Then a groggy ride back to Princeton
California rosé with the Ambassador in Los Angeles
Plus the Sparkling Burgundy at Barnaby's
Some Bourbon smuggled to officers' rooms in Louisville
The Pouilly with Bouillabaisse in the Savoy Grill
Later a full-bodied claret
Top it off with Blackberry brandy at the Lafayette
At Heminway's hotel some gorgeous Vin d'Arbois
And then very poor wines from Nicolas
Kaly's crème de cacao cocktails in St. Paul
Uninteresting St. Estèphe in a desolate hole
Corn liquor on the beach at La Garoupe
Sherry by moonlight with a shrimp soup
Chambéry Fraise on someone's honeymoon
And the apple brandy nipped at in the locker-room
Absinthe cocktails in an aviation field in Alabama
On the Fourth of July with two Piccadilly ladies full of drama
Porto Blancs in New York at a time of sadness
And champagne cocktails in the Ritz in Paris
A dry white wine that won't travel
See the friendly priest in Orvieto unravel
Yellow Chartreuse in the Via Balbini in Rome
Grenadine cocktail in Monsignore's home
An unfriendly waiter in Sorrento at twilight
I'm asking for a La Tâche & picking a fight
