Gin’s a Summer Tonic
In anticipation of seasonal change

Dodging raindrops
between
thunder pops,
we had time to toast
to an impending
season we know will roast
us with its presence in a few —
when it comes creeping
with that sticky dew.
But I know gin
will always keep us calm —
and steady, for the win .
A soothing tonic
for restless souls
still feeling a little sick
from life’s lived labors,
getting way too much to handle.
And all the more’s
the reason to Tanqueray —
or so the company’s adverts
always seem to say.
