Vulnerable to the Vodka
sitting upon the shelf
and to vintner’s special vintage
a carafe all to myself
Vermouth of particular value
for daddy taught me right
mix with gin; add olive
to serve him every night
Vespers from a bottle
vanishing beneath its veil
ever vowing every morning
in vain attempts to become well

This verse is in honor of those I know personally as they find validation for their truths in their valiant efforts to remove the chains of addiction. I admire their vigilance.
