Let a Canadian Maple Leaf silver coin rest heavy in your hand
Slide your thumb over the head of the Queen
Oh, the aristocratic face! Oh, the noble traits!
Drop the coin into a crystal glass Amundsen Arctic Vodka
to see the silver glitter
The spirit must be ice-cold to bring forth the glow in the metal
Three deep-frozen ice cubes to honor polar explorers
that never came home from the realms of the white Arctic bear
and penguins galore
Squeeze half a lime over the silver spoon you were given as a child,
remembering time lost dreams and sweet, exotic fragrances
of your first love
Raise the crystal glass towards a white candlelight
and savor the sight of dancing flames around the melting ice
Drink slowly… Oh, so slowly … till the silver coin kisses your lips
