Mixed Kombucha With Rum?
I've been freebasingforming my poetry, again...

Get My Drink On (Before It's Gone)

I know I'm supposed to sound sophisticated,
Like I know my way around the bar --
Advanced past margaritas and 7&7s
To savor rye whisky from a jar.
As I sip discount bourbon
With Dr. Pepper from hydro flask,
I have to ponder then ask;
When did I stop drinking diet beer,
The kind commercials touted?
And what's this hard seltzer in a can
That tastes like overripe melon water?

I'm dared to mix Monster with UV vodka,
Stir Kombucha with spiced rum.
Yet, where is the fun?
If there's no party to tout these drinks at,
No memory aftermath --
Just a garbage puke bath?

I imagine, because
I'm at home in bed after 50,
Getting my solemn buzz on;
Though I'm ready to party 'til dawn,
I'll view celebrities responsibly drink,
Watch my waistline, I think.
I'll still be pretty at 60, but
I still need to eat. Have you heard
About these low-carb, whole-wheat wraps...?
Meh, who gives a crap.
