Teetotaler

I once knew a sedate gent with class, who would not drink red wine at church mass. Would take a wee sip, to wet his wee lip, since red wine made him expel built gas. Was time for his daughter to marry, gentleman who liked to drink sherry. Being a good dad, I toasted the lad, then prayed for fearless canary. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S. Muzzey

Thanks Joyce but the only thing left is canary which can be said as having 3 syl. but all my dictionaries say 2 syl. can't think of anything else.
