Bar Splendor

No better way to launch the weekender Than dropping in to see my local bartender He whips up the meanest margarita in his blender I can relax and to him all my troubles surrender He knows the right thing to say to either gender He’s everyone’s closest friend by no means a pretender He commiserated when I needed a defender While suspended for snapping someone’s suspender He cheered me up when I was the thwarted contender And understood about my questionable fender bender He let me run a tab when I was short on tender That’s where he drew the line to not be a lender After all he had his own issues with a big vendor I always cleared my tab so at no time be an offender Never being so bold as to ask for an extender For fear of a dry spell for services he’d render AP: 3rd place 2022 Submitted on August 25, 2018 for CONTEST NO.485 Sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted in April, 2018

Oh you are at it again with monorhyme. I think you are the monorhyme queen, Line. Very cute one! (I've never had a bartender!!)
