Schweppes gives you wings

  • Alcohol
  • brunette, Cambridge, Girton, Schweppes, St Catherine's, tonic

“I was sent down from Cambridge,” said Merton,
“The reason for which I am certain
 Was the day I was braced
 By Schweppes Tonic and chased
A brunette from St. Catherine’s to Girton.”

An architect, Everard Murchiss,
Planned villas which no one would purchiss…
 Now, spurred by Schweppes Tonic,
 He’s built a Masonic
Girls’ School, seven pubs and ten churchiss.
