Let's Drink the Words

The American said: let's drink the words.
She was so right.

A loquacious gin & tonic
An acerbic Darwinian daiquiri on ice
A French martini disrupted not stirred
A mojito muddled in abstinence
A Belfast bomber & brimstone
Love on the Rocks with perpetual dissent
Sex on the Beach with a dash of chilli & lime
Vodka scorpion splashed in ironic ascension
Dark rum stifled by the sting of a disturbance
Love scented petals infused with tequila worms
Salubrious shots of Sambuca
Absinthe toasted in lunacy flakes

This is my bar.
Choose your poison wisely

Well...I need a drink after that...It read like an advertisement for all those drinks...yet...I was waiting for the line:

The most interesting man in the world.
Stay thirty, my friends...

but you hit a lot of areas...already with this one...
Need a miles from ordinary now...in the last line:

This is my bar.
Choose your poison wisely.

may be ---

This is my bar.
Choose your pollutant wisely

that' s just a suggestion...

Thanks again Glen for your feedback, I welcome all thoughts for my work. I wrote this poem specifically for a spoken word event held in a cocktail bar, so perhaps it doesn't work on the page out of context. I disagree with the last line suggestion though, the pollutant implies that the drink is impure or that it pollutes the body, which would be a personal reference yourself to your stance or view of it, one which I don't share - I like a drink, and it was written for a bar.

Im confused about the suggestion 'The most interesting man in the world.... ' line, where would you put in and in what context? The audience were 18 - 40 years old, and im mid-30s, so it doesn't quite makes sense to me. Feel free to reply so I can understand. Thanks. And by all means critique my other poems on here. Constructive feedback is always welcome :)

I've done enough critiques for a day...I was implying the slogan...not actually putting it in the lines...its good as is...I was using it as a reference...rather than a suggestive add on in the write itself...I will make way...as I go along each of your writings...they hold their value...

Good work Glen. Appreciated sir, and feedback and thoughts always have value

'Poison' is probably a cultural lingo term - its common in Glasgow for barmen to ask a customer 'what's your poison' when they are pondering on what cocktail to get

Your vocabulary leaves me with an insatiable thirst for more! That's some bar!!
