Happy Meal

Happy Meal

A Poem by Roland Petrov
"

I wrote this light hearted attempt at blank verse in a bar while sitting next to the garnishes.

"

Tequila sunrise is my choice to start;

my taste buds woken up with orange slice.

Green muddled mint will be my salad course;

on bottom of my julep glass it waits.

Martinis make a championship main dish,

since olives are nutritious, healthy fare.

It's older fashioned cocktails for dessert;

sweet maraschino cherries are the pie.

Post dinner is my Irish coffee time,

the dairy course with shamrock on the cream.

WouldI get a virtual slap if I said "I'm livin' it?"
If only McD's served this up, it would give new meaning to the all day breakfast.
I do hope that dessert was an Irish coffee and not Guinness though, as drawing a shamrock in the froth os a hanging offence in Ireland.
They take it seriously there and won't let any new staff pour it until they've been there four or five years to see how it's done.

Too early in the morning for tequila but the thought of you sitting in a bar scribbling this on a napkin next to the garnishes made me smile.
