 EFFECTS OF WHISKY.

Whisky maks us sometimes foolish, Whisky maks our pockets light, Whisky maks us aften mulish, Whisky gars us aften fight.

Whisky sometimes cures the head-ache, Wiiisky aften cures the gripes Whisky aye can cure the tooth-ache, Whisky’s gude when ta’en wi’ swipes.

Whisky maks us scant o’ money, Whisky maks an empty house, Whisky maks us mair than funny,, Whisky gars us a’ crack crouse.

Whisky’s gude for a’ complainin', Whisky cures when doctors fail, Whisky cheers a winter’s evening, Whisky quicken’s head and tail.

Whisky stilI brings on distempers, Whisky kills, but canna cure, Whisky changes a’ our tempars, Whisky maks few rich, but many poor.
