Everyone knew of Douglas O’ Malley
The best bartender throughout all of the valley
He mixed any drink with just the right amount of booze
He knew every concoction that a customer would choose
With the speed of a cheetah, he had empty glasses refilled
Miraculously never having a single drop spilled
He showed up every day for his beloved vocation
Never calling out sick or taking a vacation
Ironically, the one time that Douglas would change his hardworking ways
He refused to tend bar on his beloved St. Patrick’s day
O’ Malley’s reasoning was that although his mixing skills were indeed God-given
But, to not drink himself on that March day would be against his religion
