There is something about a Martini,*

It’s a bikini in a glass

Clear

much more than a demi-tasse

 

It would be nice to have one

While writing like a silly goose

Crisp

shaking my brain loose

 

Yes, there is nothing like it

Vermouth so dry

And that juniper juice

that makes me fly

 

It will enhance my humour

To a notable level of sophistication

Just like Dorothy Parker

no doubt of the causation

 

I will take my last mighty sip

But won’t be my last

I have a forty ouncer

yes, I’m going to have a blast
