On The Rocks


The Ice Cutters, 1911 ~ Natalia Goncharova 


 tinkle tinkle tiny cubes
scotch on rocks 
come get it, Rubes
stir it .. mix it
drink it down
raisin' hell all over town
tinkle tinkle tiny cubes
filling ice bags
for the Boobs
'tis the season
so they say
drink too much
 a price you'll pay

    No gentleman puts ice cubes in his scotch! That mangles the delicate flavour. A few drops of water at room temperature, perhaps, but NO ICE. Ice is scotch is for cultural Philistines and other ne'er-do-wells.

    Blessings and Bear hugs for your sober Christmas!

    Reminds me of Thoreau's description of those who cut Northern ice for Southern markets.
