My latest love affair is with rum, and as such, I have recently remembered an old line from a song. Written by the great Ray Davies, it was actually a rumble against taxation, and just what the British government was doing. And as he was moaning about needing to take exile and avoid the poisonous rates, he wrote this...
"Goodbye champagne and the caviar set, I wanna slum and drink all of the rum I can get, I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land"
I'd link to it, but I'm afraid it is a little too obscure for You Tube. A sample from Amazon, perhaps?
Anyway, if you care to download the song, it's only 99 cents, and is, if nothing else, a cheery finger poppin' tune. And you can enjoy it over a mojito, rum and coke, or god bless us all, a little egg nog with rum. Go about 50-50 for diet purposes, eh?
