My Martini and I
True Love
Oh my dear martini
What a friend you are
Comforting me in stressful times
As you beckon from the bar.
*
Give it to me dirty
That’s how I like it best
Gently shaken and not stirred
With just a little lemon zest.
*
Had I known much sooner
That you were so innately divine
I would have made my full-time job
To seek you out when I desired to unwind.
*
I pay you full-fledged homage
With green olives floating in your gin
You’re a lush dream of my reality
Each afternoon at five when we begin.
*
We feel each other’s joy –
Or is that pain, I can’t decide –
Guess I’ll just let my enhanced mood
Determine a winner come eventide.
*
So shake and pour your nectar
Fill my glass resplendent with delight
And I’ll be a happy camper
Throughout the long, dark lonely night.
*
Oh my dear martini
Others like you are too few
You’re always with me, rain or shine
So I tip my glass to you.
