Gin’s a Summer Tonic
In anticipation of seasonal change
Dodging raindrops between thunder pops,
we had time to toast to an impending season we know will roast
us with its presence in a few — when it comes creeping with that sticky dew.
But I know gin will always keep us calm — and steady, for the win .
A soothing tonic for restless souls still feeling a little sick
from life’s lived labors, getting way too much to handle. And all the more’s
the reason to Tanqueray — or so the company’s adverts always seem to say.
