Message In the Bottle

The message in the bottle was not what I expected to see

The glass so clear, vodka fetid within, the label beckoned to the buyer

The cap torn off, insides drained, the droplets stained like weak bleak tea

The promised dreams were nightmares, the vendor a stinking liar.

A nightmare indeed for someone with their hopes up. You made me laugh. :) Dane Ann
