As someone who spent almost a year behind the bar, I can't help but note that this description is very authentic. I'm impressed by how you turned it into poetry. <3

For a little over 3 years, near 4, this is what I did every weekend night. You learn a few things, entertain, mix and pour 🤭😊

Thank you so much for your comment. ❤️‍🩹💜😊

That's really wonderful

Now I am just amazed by your poem

That's really a piece of art

Thanks for sharing and keep writing 💫

Just highlighting this part

just to make you smile

But the line I draw is

When I cut you off alcohol.

Thank you for your read and reply. I just went back through this and realized that I didn’t show my appreciation for your reading of this poem (rhythm) so I want to thank you now. I didn’t purposely skip a reply to you, I truly do appreciate that you’ve read my poem and replied honestly. Thank you.😊❣️❤️‍🩹❤️🤗

Tammy, this one had me grinning — it’s got that perfect bar buzz to it, all rhythm and heartbeat and just the right splash of sass. You’ve nailed the bartender’s juggling act — half mixologist, half therapist, full-time keeper of everyone’s secrets. “I’m pumping shine just to make you smile” might be my new favourite line of the week.

I could practically hear the glasses clinking and the crowd talking over the music. It’s got that end-of-shift warmth too — tired, proud, still smiling. Loved every pour of it~!
