Regretful Blackout Aperitif
Recipe Poem Shadows In A Glass
Would you like to partake in this Regretful Blackout Aperitif?
I am sure it will leave you with a brief belief
that you are the chief of love of life, so sweet.
Now take a seat,
have a gulp to feel complete,
And hopefully,
you will not find yourself
after lying in the street.
Regretful Blackout Aperitif
Ingredients:
One lost soul
2 oz’s mind maze
¾ oz regretful reality ruins
¾ oz Imbibe insomnia incline
½ oz Regretful ruins
How to mix and make maudlin mayhem:
First, pour 1 lost soul into the false courage chair
Second, pull out the doubtful mind shaker
Thirdly, add the 2 oz mind maze with the ¾ oz regretful reality ruins and
¾ oz Imbibe insomnia incline
Shake the liquid snake.
Spill the deviant alleviate into the blackout mug.
Garnish With: Add a few sorrowful salutes of grandiose bravado.
Cheers!

I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm sure I've had one or two of these. Bottoms up!
This was soooo creative and clever! Well done!
I love this - well done!
Marvelous poem, though I'm likely neither to find myself nor have anyone else find me, with or without the apertif.
An interesting take on the situation. Love it
