L uscious liquid

R ibs from the

Hello Sam, your acrostic is a fizzy delight! I love how you turned “Lubricant” into a playful ode to refreshment, with or without alcohol. The way it “tickles ribs from the inside out” and brings “calming, cooling composure”. It’s cheeky, clever, and full of golden charm. I’ll toast to that—carbonated or not. Blessings, Sam, Daniel
