Tektal's Around the World Drinking Session!

Yer an alien, is tha' right, pal?

Did yee say yer name wis, Tektal?

Welcome, welcome, come right in

Tell me all aboot yer alien kin

Do yee like tae huv a swallae?

Yee ken...drinky drink, a bevvy?

Whit wid yee like tae start wae?

Ah think I'll git oot the whisky

Not on the rocks, or wae water

Drink it neat, as it hits better

Then we'll have a pint or three

Sum Belhaven, Guinness and Tetley

Across the Channel there's wine

Chianti and Pinot Grigio are fine

Have a big glass of strong brandy

Take the edge off with a wee shandy

We call this drink mother's ruin

It's gin o'clock, you'll be wasted soon

Next let's drink some fiery liqueurs

Sambuca, Ouzo, Raki and Apple Sourz

Followed by Good Ol' American wine

Beer, bourbon and dodgy Moonshine

Southwards next for some Tequila

then to stay healathy, kombucha

Maybe a Pisco Sour, Mezcal or four

Bouhka, Grogue, Bundy and lots more

Let's not forget a stiff Russian vodka

Then maybe some sweet Medovukha

Before downing some strong sake

Take a bottle or two, on the way

Back hame tae yer wife and kids

Bon voyage, my dear pal, I bids

Thanks for reading!

Author's Note: Scottish poem about drinking with an alien visitor so they can sample some of the best drinks from around the world. Was aware that some of my more recent work has been on the darker and more sombre side, so this is meant to lighten things a little. It's an entry into the Extraterrestrial Challenge, which you can find out more about below:

Basically the prompt is "Write a rhyming poem about the first thing you would introduce to an alien on Earth."

You can also take a look at these recent pieces:
