The Calabash Cheers

 A light-brownish Calabash
Is the love of many homes

It is the cup for many mouths,
And a friend of many traditional drinks,

It is also a lad to many patrons at the village bar.

Somehow it's uncharitable towards shaky hands.
It is uncaring to those with blurred vision.
And those with wobbling holds.

A Calabash essentially deserve care.

With it's multiple utility,
It's amazing how the Calabash
Should be stranded in this case,
Of offending the creative city drinkers
Who prefer to acquire transparent cups.

But whatever the case, Calabash keep secrets,
Of the song styles of the xylophone,
It carefully hides its content from others,
But shows it to the occupier of the sky,
The Calabash is a valuable custodian of the goodies of it's patrons,
However, the clash of intoxicating mixtures cannot be blamed on the loyal spirit of the Calabash.

Yet, a good defence,
Is to try holding it with care and style.
Yes! Hold your Calabash with care,
To condense your hold with every cheer.
