Cocktail - Silver at your lips

Let a Canadian Maple Leaf silver coin rest heavy in your hand
Slide your thumb over the head of the Queen
Oh, the aristocratic face! Oh, the noble traits!

Drop the coin into a crystal glass Amundsen Artic Vodka to see the silver glitter
The spirit must be ice-cold to bring forth the glow in the metal

Three deep-frozen ice cubes to honor polar explorers that never came
home from the realms of the white Artic bear and penguins galore

Squeeze half a lime over the silver spoon you were given as a child,
remembering time lost dreams and sweet, exotic fragrances of your first love

Raise the crystal glass towards a white candlelight
and savor the sight of dancing flames around the melting ice

Drink slowly… Oh, so slowly … till the silver coin kisses your lips
