An Ode to Amaretto Sours

Oh amaretto sours,

How you bring your best every Wednesday.

Your sweet cherry and almond liquor

With the bitter contrast of lemon lime

Brings me joy every time.

Comments of those who were in college when I was

But learning to walk may try to demean you.

They speak of long nights of seeing you twice.

Uninvited the second time.

I could never do that to you.

Citrine drink of my youth.

I will treasure you always.
