The spirit of my dad helped me today,
and I responded by telling him I would
send a crisp gin and tonic his way, and
he smiled down on me, and I said,
I will send 2, one for you and one for John,
my father-in-law passed, and then I said 3,
one for Uncle Rocco, and another for Aunt Aida,
and two for each Aunt Millie, and Mom, and Cousin Joe,
and then I lost count
I'll just keep sending up shakers and lime
until you tell me enough
I hear a Hurrah
at the tip of my
crisp, tart knowing
they're there
Salud, old friends
