Tequila Sunrise

The
                                   sun today rose like
                                      a slice of lemon 
                                       that grips the
                                        salty edge of
                                         an ice cold
                                          margarita
                                             badly
                                                i
                                                n
                          
                                                n
                                                e
                                                e
                                                d
                                              of an
                                        extra shot of
                                    tequila for warmth
