The day is waning into night
and with the last few rays of light,
I’ll have a finger, clean and neat.
.
The spirit in this glass will help
ease the troublesome worries felt
as I quaff my whiskey treat.
.
Pour another finger or two
and my tumbler’s bounty renew
to allow me a rewarding repeat.
.
The whiskey warms me head to feet
This mellow moment I cannot cheat
I must sip and savor ’til the task’s complete
before ending the day with a long, slow, satisfied sigh.
