Martini

A Sophisticated Drink It stood there on the table a litre bottle of martini stuff made in a factory in Milan and has nothing to do with proper wine. The workers are basely underpaid, when they ask a rise the get served martini for breakfast-. Or perhaps I´m wrong and it is in South Africa where sober wine workers get fired because they are unionised and do ask for a better wage. Martini is a cheap product that has been given a great write up, a liquid of alcohol, water and some good smelling herbs. The mystery is not solved who had put the bottle on my table? In a book by Somerset Morgan an ill willed woman put a bottle of whisky by a vase of flowers for a woman she didn´t like, to find. The disliked woman found and drank the whisky- straight from the bottle. She now a tart in bars sits on men´s lap for a drink, as the ambiguity continues, like cigarette smoke inhaled and exhaled in a deep dream of a smoker who has recently quit.
