A Drink In a Mason Jar

Filly’s saloon was a convivial spot. For country-western music fans, this place was hot. If you wanted entertainment, there was no need to go west. In the city of Philadelphia, this was one of the best. Anyone could go there. You didn’t have to be a star. They had a very long and fully-stocked bar. You could get any drink served in a mason jar. If you wanted a margarita, martini, or a whiskey sour, the bar stayed open until a very late hour. A very generous portion could be held in a mason jar. That is what made this night spot a star.

oh, my, mine is about a mason jar too (but a totally different reason for the jar!) Good job with this, Robert. I will see the other poem you said later. Gotta hurry to bed now and just came here to check on a contest's rules. (can I do anything to make my self-conversation stand out more in that last couplet?)
