ENGAGEMENT DRINK
(This short, sharp ditty was made up after pop group T-Spoon had a hit with "Sex on the Beach" in 1998, which I later cottoned on is also the name of a cocktail whose sales must have rocketed! For non-Britons, a tenner is ten British pounds in British currency. I have put it in the Erotic category for the double-entendre.)
On the night we got engaged
We had barely a tenner each;
We were too poor to order champagne,
So we had Sex on the Beach!

Haha, I drank many a sex on the beach, one of my favourite cocktails in my younger days and a tenner would cover quite a few :)
Great ditty Solomon.

My funniest anecdote about that song was in an article about a couple who ran line dancing classes, whose wife often went to a record shop for material. He told the paper he feared she might get them banned when without explanation she asked, about the single, "Can I have Sex on the Beach?"
LOL.
