Ask First!
I don’t drink milk and don’t drink tea.
Water and coffee do for me.
When it comes to booze, I’m picky.
Tequila’s fine but Scotch is icky.
Pineapple juice or orange is fine,
but tomato’s out of line,
so bloody Marys aren’t the thing
that I’d like for you to bring
to wet my tongue and slake my thirst.
I request you ask me first.
For SOCS, the prompt word is “drink.”
A Lemonade Stand!!!!
Teetotalers do not mind
refreshments of the softer kind.
A lemon sliced, plump and terete
once squeezed, they feel, cannot be beat.
A lemonade is sure to please,
their thirst to quench and thus appease.
On the other hand, some folks
consider drinks like this as jokes.
They prefer their lemons sliced this way
along with mint served in a spray
that serves as garnish or a kicker
for a drink that’s laced with liquor.
Liquids served with temperance
will rarely warrant a defense.
In short order, they will rate
demands at once for a rebate!!!
If you serve lemonade, please thin it
with hefty slugs of gin within it!!!!
Prompt words today are terete, rebate, lemonade, appease, spray and mind.
Carlos Jr’s favorite drink, “La Bandera” or flag.. since it is the colors of the Mexican flag. The salted glass is sangrita, the white or clear one is tequila and the green is key lime juice. He alternated sips of each.

For Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Liquid Drinks, Hot or Cold.

I messed up on this one big time. First, after going through six years of photos on my Mac Photos file to make a list of these examples of hot or cold drinks, I got them all entered in my blog and when I tried to remove one, I erased them all—losing a good hour of work it took me to locate them in my WP media file. Then I decided to just enter them all again, since I had a list of them, and when I finished I realized that this was a black and white challenge. Maybe I need to retire. Anyway, back to the drawing board. I’m going to go ahead and post this one and then go back and convert them all to black and white to enter into Cee’s challenge.
Twenty-seven minutes later: I’ve converted all the photos to black and white and reposted for Cee’s Black and White challenge, so if you are curious about how these would all look in black and white, HERE is the other version.
