Liquid Sunshine

You ask for a local food I see,
right from the Sunshine State.
What the hell do you want from me?
The best we have is bait.
A melting pot is what we are
and all our foods are from afar.
A melting pot.
A melting pot.
From taco shells to caviar.

I guess I could mention coconuts,
a fruit we sometimes eat.
Tiny thongs running up our butts,
such a Florida treat.
We need some rum to go with fruit;
still hung up on my bathing suit.
We need some rum.
We need some rum.
Guys drink enough and I look cute.

So you ask for a local food;
guess the answer is drink.
We feed it to a local dude;
most are the missing link.
Florida booze will make them squirm,
shooting shots and eating the worm.
Florida booze.
Florida booze.
Muscles in Speedos feel so firm.

    LMAO!!! Girl, I love your sense of humor. You are just too talented, too intelligent, and too unique.

    Nobody writes like you - nobody.

    You are quite easily the most prolific and talented of all the poets here on AP. Or in the world.

    So when are you going to publish an anthology?

    Ahhhhhh, now this was not only well done but extremely cute and liquidly ingenious, or is that indigenous, as to Florida? I knew a guy who died face down in a thong in Bangkok. I suppose there are worse ways to go, but I've got lots more to do myself so I just ignore them when I see them, and i also lie like a Dingo!

    I think Amera may have had a few Rum and Cokes when she wrote this. Just kidding! I like your ingenuity when you can't necessarily think of something edible you go for the boozy silly side of the prompt. Knowing the contest judge, I think this might just impress!

    Way to go Amera!

    Here's looking at you, kid! Bottoms up!

    This is an hilarious take on the prompt. I can see most of this, although I think only braindead guys would need to drink to find you cute.

    You are already cute, and brilliance is SEXY!!!!

    Have three drunk bunnies!
