Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Sidecar

A U.S. navy captain in

World War I went into a bar,

Was on leave for the whole day then,

Parked his motorbike with sidecar.

Told the bartender to prepare

Half a shaker with cognac pure,

The other half in equal share

Of lemon juice and orange liqueur.

Shake well and pour into a glass.

And thus this cocktail came to be.

Rest of day my captain did pass

In the bar and drinking down me.

My "sidecar" name did come about

As where my captain did pass out.
