I Wish I Had a Bloody Mary

I wish I had a Bloody Mary
     To come to my rescue
And quell the aches and pains caused by
     The drink I should eschew

Please make it extra spicy
     With the olives, now don’t skimp
Maybe even top it off
     With a tasty big fat shrimp

A bit of hot horseradish
     ‘Round the rim would be delightful
Then please tell why I drink 
     That would really be insightful

Because it is the perfect breakfast and they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that's why. :) This was fun Mike.
