  When the girl with legs like Marilyn Monroe's
Wore the sheerest kind of mini-denier hose,

 A frisky ninety-seven year old man           
Who can jog or dance a jig without a quiver.   
 If you ask him how he stays so young and spry,
 He'll answer with a sly wink of the eye:     
"Good whiskey perks up any fellow's liver."
