Blue Heaven Bar
A colorful bantam rooster perches atop
The open-air “Blue Heaven” bar in Key West
Red, yellow, green, and blue stools inviting
Passersby to imbide a salty dog or a margarita,
Slices of Key Lime pie are mouth-watering
Old-fashioned lanterns dangle from beams,
While a peculiar green fish garnishes a post
Colorful bottles of vodka, gin, and curacao
Lined up like sailors at attention on deck,
A playful atmosphere of “what the heck!”

Key West, Florida artist Lynne Fischer,
which hangs in my living room.]
