Yikes - think I would have needed to be psychic to work that one out! Now I understand, I see more humour in it though. Maybe you could give us some explanations and ask us to put the cocktails to it next time.... xx
You're not the only one by any means, Isobel. It's a list of shorts/cocktails. Shortlist. One is meant to discern in the narrative arc a night of debauchery
Americano - a yank
Cable Car - on top of the world
Hollywood - living the dream
Redheaded Slut - he meets a girl
Screwdriver - speaks for itself?
Pearl Harbour - suddenly the drink takes its toll
Mudslide - things get messy and slide downhill
Banshee - she's not too good, either
Tomahawk - and she has a tomahawk
Fuzzy Navel - things calm down, you try to contemplate and make sense but...
Sombrero - you're out.
Sorry - it's lost on me. You'll have to explain it. I did think it was an odd poem. I like to understand stuff though - so if you would be so good...
Thanks, Isobel and Steve. Did you apprehend the narrative arc?
You asking?
What about a long, hard, comfortable screw up against a wall?

Yes, this was way too cryptic, Ray, but now I find it interesting as you've told us a story through the names of cocktails!
p.s. I have only ever heard of two of them - Screwdriver and Fuzzy Navel!
