Best Poems Written by Peter Borkman

A Royal Libation

You and I are at the sink
We’re making martinis
‘bout time
Don’t you think?

Beefeaters my gin
Your choice Bombay
We’ve tried many others
But don’t often stray

You are very precise
Mix yours 4 to 1
Me, not so particular
Vermouth, almost none

I’ll take an olive
You like a twist
If there’s no fruit
You’ll use ‘Lemon Mist’

The first sip brings a smile
And good conversation
There’s nothing quite like
This Royal Libation

We sip and enjoy
Gaze out at the view
And offer a toast
Here’s to Life, Here’s to Love, Here’s to you
