I was attempting to charm a choice bit of calico into a little petting session when I was interrupted by Tim the Commissioner saying, “You look a little absent, how about some Absinthe?” I had no choice but to acquiesce (bằng lòng, ưng thuận) to his request and match the flutter of my heart with a burn in my chest. We tossed one down the hatch and soon enough the Green Fairy’s kiss had put a slur in our smile and a stutter in our steps! That’s when I spied a dolled-up, doe-eyed Daisy and took my chance to dance.

After all that toe-tappin’ I was really burning with a blue flame and that’s when the trophies made their way to the stage.
