Cocktails and Dreams

Bottles juggle.

Tom Cruise played a flair bartender,
or "flairtender" in the 1988 film "Cocktail." 

Whisky's ablaze.

Impressed patrons;

tip jar bulges.

Movie stars are nothing

next to this flairtender,

Prince Philip 

to her Aurora.

(Although come to think

of it, that was a movie, too.)

Flying cocktails join

the magic in the air.

Flair, he's got in spades.

Tender, too, 

from what I've heard.

He had better not drop

her heart.
