Vodka
Ah lovely vodka
how I love your
firey bite.
Even when next morning
you make me feel
all...hurty.
Drinking vodka
with Americans
never should be done,
I'll describe it for
you now, it really
isn't fun.
He takes a slice
of lemon, which
would be fine by me,
but then he covers
it in sugar,
he slathers it in sugar,
he buries it in sugar,
until it's sugary as can be.
"it's a lemon sugar bomb" he says
(and mutters "howdy" under his
breath, a slave to his culture.)
I eye him with a jaundiced eye
like a snobby,
disdainful vulture.
Pick up my Mary Poppins style
spoonful of sugar
medicine helper down,
Give a silent apology
to my Smirnoff and
drink it with a frown.
