COCKTAIL QUIZ FOR POETS

 
AND THE WINNER IS JUDITH WESTERFIELD!
 
a smart dog named max
found a sweet bright blue princess
to do his bidding
judith his muse and teacher
taught him how to drink cocktails
 
 
 
 
                                                
                                                                                                 Hound of the  Baskervilles 
                                                                                               aka     MAX
                                                                                                     
 
 
I am running a cocktail quiz.
 
The winner who can name the cocktail will have a short poem dedicated to them in a  short form of their choice. If  no one is successful I will continue running the competition until I have drunk my way through the entire cocktail menu repertoire.

Any requests for clues must be in the haiku form 5 7 5

    Very nice haiku Miss Westerfield but this cocktail has a name. It is a popular drink with the crowd who hang

    ... on the beach

    Do answers have to be 5-7-5 too. Or are you just secretly teasing us?

    Do pay attention Cosmo. I am sorry you missed out this time but there will be other competitions with different topics. 'Sex on the beach' is not really appropriate for a conservative gentleman such as yourself:)
