A Quart a Day by Hugh Blanton

The feature article said that Lemmy drank
a quart of Jack Daniels a day.
I just assumed a quart was a lot without
even trying to think about how much
a quart really was.

Then the 1.75 liter bottle of whiskey
I bought two days ago is already gone.

Check the metric conversions
on the inside cover of your
Tops composition book.

I'm almost up to Lemmy's level.
