cheers

there was a cheer
that the crowd,
children really,
chanted
from the stands
in high school
that went like this.
i've got some
vodka up in my
locker. and if we
win, we get some
gin, but if we lose,
we get no booze.
goooo, braves!
i think of it often
when pouring
myself a gin and
tonic over ice
with a twist
of lime. it's more
of a tie game,
at this point.
