Swizzle Stick

I, er, erred -

Your cocktail was stirred, & not shaken.
The shame of it! I was mistaken.

I sugared your potatoes
very far from my intent,
& I'm sorry that the broccoli
be more cooked than I had meant -

I regret the beans, their music
was not tuneful to my ear,
& I apologise profusely
for my very small small beer-

Our dinner was dismal. I erred.
Your cocktail was shaken, not stirred.
