the third martini

it's the third martini
that gives you wisdom, 

makes you articulate
and bold,
makes you stand up
and say the things
you think others want to

hear, all the things

you believe

they want to know,

it's that third drink
that makes you
likable and giving,
ready to grab a hand
and dance across the floor.
the third drink brings out
the best in you,
all of which will

disappear when you decide

to have that fourth.
