Sandy: ‘Oooo, Ed, what did I drink last night?
I think I got a little “tight”!’

Edward: ‘Yup! You danced upon the table.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t quite read the label—
Cherry-cola, or cherryade.
I think the stuff is local made.’

Narrator: ‘That, dearest Ed and Sandy,
Is the famous Croatian Cherry Brandy.’
