And let me the canakin clink, clink;
And let me the canakin clink
A soldier's a man;
A life's but a span;
Why, then, let a soldier drink.
limerick by William Shakespeare from Othello, Act II, Scene 3 (1603)

| (*) Who said Limericks were 'the lowest form of poetry'?! Even Shakespeare used it -through the mouth of Iago-, and sang about imbibing spirits. |
