tastes and smells like christmas

the waiter,
peach fuzzed and slender.
new
on the job,
new in life,
just out of the nest,
his wings
barely taking flight
asks
what Tanqueray is?
i tell him
it's a gin,
a gin that smells like
christmas.
he laughs.
okay, he says. i'll
remember that.
on the second round,
he says.
you're right.
