Slightly Stirred But Never Shaken

====================== If I have just one more drink (slightly stirred but never shaken), I can drown them. They will sink, if I have just one more drink. This time they'll stay down, I think and for once, I will awaken (if I have just one more drink), slightly stirred, but never shaken. ===================== 08/15/2015

Well hello my little Night Voice! Heh heh. Actually, this poem was written for the 'Mental Illness' contest but of course I was like one day too late for entry. Boo! But I any reason to write a triolet is fine with me... I've been trying to keep up with congrats on all the great wins by everone but it's hard! Keep checking your comments, though
