From Somewhere Outside

I rest in a chair made of wicker,
in the air, that could not be thicker.

A soft breeze I wish could be quicker,
barely making candlelight flicker.

My thirst, barely quenched by malt liquor,
Poured into large jars by McVicar.

From somewhere outside comes a whicker,
Stable's sly comment, makes me snicker.
