Lubricant

Listen to poem:

L uscious liquid
U ndulates in the pouring
B ubbles to tickle 
R ibs from the 
I  nside out with a golden
C alming, cooling composure effect
A lcohol free (sometimes) yet
N ever disappoints especially during 
T hermal reduction as a bonus

Some "Lubricants" loosen tongues, some just ties them. A lick of the lips, so no vowels will slip, some might borrow, but most must buy them.

I love the cheeky style of the lettering and its a damn good poem. Alcohol is good in moderation but I was never one to give it a small satisfaction but a wild ride to oblivion. I do love the poem for those who can drink without problems..

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
