If you're buying....



If you're buying,
make me one with a little
 surprise at the end, a
strong finish, with a sour
       twist, and
something ordinary but not
        too dull,you know
             what I like.
         

        give it to me in a cup
 of monumental proportions,maybe
        that would not have seemed
out of place in the hand of
          a pirate king, no
wait, maybe a crystal glass all
        light and sparkles
 oh, i know just
         the thing...a
  garish plastic pineapple or
        a skull with sparklers
     that lights up the room and
      says
            "Hey, lookit me, it's
                    my birthday!"


   Life is just too short
          to drink Mickeys malt liquor
         from a red plastic cup
or pretend to like the taste
            of raw gin

     Don't give it to me straight
          either,
I want to dress it up and
           sashay
