M is for Martini

Each morning, there's a ritual that occurs the world over... when a fabulous fashionista selects their wardrobe for the day, he or she knows, -that 'each outfit should tell it's own story'.....one must be very careful in selecting the right pieces.  Ahem, try not to laugh, all ye non fashionistas reading this.  Now, I think, the same applies for drinks, in particular cocktails, they could inspire many fantastic tales..and not just from over-indulgence.  Take the marvellous martini, there are so many evocative images that spring-sway-to-mind.  If our dear Martini could tell a tale, we would certainly have...

Our Main Character...
A hero of sorts,
Suave, sophisticated, debonair...

A dark setting, dimly lit streets leading,
To a secluded bar...

Where our debonair hero likes to sip...
a few of his favourite....
'shaken, not stirred'

We must have a heroine,
A feisty damsel, whom our hero must
Convince, firstly that she requires
rescuing...and secondly that he is THE man

Of course, he must deal with the usual
distractions along the way,
Devil Women and the like,
(Ok, he's not an angel, but he has heart)

Eventually, our devastatingly clever hero
Overcomes the Evil dudes...
(A lot of them I may hasten to point out)

HE grabs our lovely feisty damsel....
And they...like, RUN really fast to the

Ridiculously pimped out getaway car,
Where they make-out before,
Fighting over who can drive
the fastest...
(wait, no that's the sequel)

Happy Martini, Ladies and Gents...

A/N: I hope you enjoyed 'Le Little Martini Tale', of course that last shot is unashamedly, a gratuitous picture of Pierce Brosnan.  I know, I just couldn't help myself...  Anyhow, we are now into Friday, and I'm still chasing my tail...yes, this is true.  I am currently fine-tuning scenes for a critique, which I must send off shortly. How's your writing, editing, playing, composing?  And, in case you're wondering, I'm partial to a Vodka Martini with extra olives on the side.   How about you?  A favourite Martini?
