1946 The Roving Bartender by Bill Kelly

THE ROVING BARTENDER

And though manys the slip twixt the cup and the lip. Yet while over the brim of life's beaker I dip, While there's life on the lip, while there's warmth in the wine. One deep health I'll pledge, and that health shall be thine.

— Meredith.
