Take the Shot

she said
i'm forming
a storm in a glass
of water but i without

bother
put some
powder in and
stirred stirring up

waves and a
whirlpool to taste
like lemon lemonade
at least that's what the

package
said so as
the cyclone
came to rest

rest 
assuredly
i will drink it
down but drowning

myself
by putting
in only a shot
of evergreen gin

Metamucil and Gin, sounds like it might result in a moving experience.

Too funny Richard. A better thought then my poem's intention.
