Notes About The Poem

My nephew turned 21 today. I wrote him this poem. 
 

21 Means

Twenty-one means you can have your first drink.
Not soda, milk, orange, a Roy Rogers, nor shake.
Yes, a beer, wine, whisky, martini, vodka. Just think -
Remember good strong coffee will put on the brakes.

It is best to remind the young adults to drink moderately, to be the best of society! Hugs ~ Kim

Don't laugh at me too hard now: Memorial Day and all, I figured '21' mean '21 gun salute!' Boy was I surprised! Cheers and Bottoms up!
