Na Zdrowie!

Drink your whiskey, shoot your shots

and have your Guinness beer,

the Irish, they are infamous

as drinkers without peer!

No one can compete with them,

they certainly are able—

until the Poles walk through the door

and drink them under the table!

Mojitos

Today, I made two mojitos

to drink in the afternoon,

I thought that I had made enough

but both were gone too soon.

I went to make a another,

but didn’t have the stuff—

never start to drink unless

you know you have enough.

Gin and Tonic

Today, I made a gin and tonic

garnished with some lime—

the flavor was so lyrical

it tasted like a rhyme.

In rhythm with the ice cubes,

it flowed across my tongue,

and sooner than expected,

its spirited song was sung.

Martinis

Today, I made a martini,

ingredients are key—

British gin, French vermouth,

combined in harmony.

I drank to the revolution,

I drank one for the queen—

the third was for the channel

caught forever in between.

Sangria

Today, I made sangria,

mixed some fruit within my wine,

combining extra flavors

you won’t find on any vine.

Oranges and strawberries,

ripe peaches, spice, and rum—

compared to other cocktails,

it’s as healthy as they come.

Margaritas

Today I made margaritas,

a pitcher full, in fact,

with sweet orange and sour lime

for opposites attract.

I drink straight from the pitcher        

until it puts me on my ass—

but why do I use the plural

if it’s all in one big glass?

Old Fashioned

Today, I had an old fashioned,

like granddad used to make;

he’d make one after dinner

when he had a stomach ache.

You’ll find one in my hand

in the evening when I’m stressed—

call me old fashioned guy,

but the old drinks are the best.

Zombie

Today, I made a zombie

with autumn in the air,

ghosts and Halloween displays

designed to thrill and scare.

Pineapple, lime, and apricot:

add rum, and make it sweet—

a little gift for daddy

while the kids go trick-or-treat.
