PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I hear the bell ring

A round for the bar

I see the bartender counting

heads along the bar

and placing out shot glasses.

She is pouring the shots slowly

I’m trying to determine

just what I will be drinking

It’s a shot

of Jacquins something or other

I recognize the Jacquins

but can’t determine the style

I suppose it’s best

I not know what it is

No good could come of it

but protocol dictates

that I enjoy the shot

maybe not enjoy

but at least

toss it down in good faith

Basic kindness shouldn’t be rebuked

where ever you find it
