An Epic Drinking Song for Alisha, who is born and raised in Calgary (a rare breed apparently…). Her hobbies include travelling around the world, photography, and making handmade crafts (then selling them) – including wine charms.

Alisha was at the airport
Ready for her flight
She was travelling to Europe
The trip would take all night

The agent saw her passport
“In Calgary you’re born?”
“I’m sorry you can’t leave, dear.”
“We’re afraid you won’t return.”

“So few are ever born here”
“They all come from out east”
“You’re an endangered species”
“At the very least!”

Alisha said, “I’ll come back”
“It’s only a week-long trip.”
But the agent wouldn’t hear it
Not a word from Alisha’s lips

Alisha reached in her pocket
For a gold homemade wine charm
That dazzled the gate agent
And flew to Europe without harm

So when you meet somebody
Who causes you alarm
If you find that nothing else will work
Try to use your charm

Here’s an Epic Drinking Song for Mike, who likes nature, playing guitar, and fancy wines, Coke, bourbon or pretty well any other beverage.

(Based on a true story.)

Oh once there was a man named Mike
He travelled to Gili Air –
An island in the Pacific
And oh, what happened there?

He showed up on the beach one night
The fishermen were drinkin’
Mike said, “I’ve got a plan for you
Now here is what I’m thinkin’…”

“We’ve got to get the sauce just right
We’ll mash up all those roots
And then we’ll have a meal to pair
With your tasty local hooch”

Next day Mike could not be found
So his friends went out in search
But they could not find him
They feared he was in the lurch

But then they heard the music
Of guitar, pretty as you’d like
The fisherman gathered round ‘im
Eating a dish they call ‘The Mike’.

So let this be a lesson
For those with strange pursuits
If you find yourself with strangers
Always stay true to your roots
