Description
English: Logo created in Adobe Illustrator. Please everyone, forgive me for the cigarette and the giant martini and the snake . . . it's been a hell of a day! (It ain't Shakespeare, but it's still in honor of the Bard of Avon.)


Cleopatra's Last Cocktail Party

“Name your poison,” said the host. “You look as if you'd seen a ghost.” Drink up--it can't be all that bad; I hate to see you look so sad.” She looked at him through kohl-rimmed eye, “Martini,” she said. “Extra dry.

“I've missed the Mark, I've lost my lands, Sweet Egypt's slipping through my hands. So now they'll march me off to Rome, And never let me come back home. They will parade me though the streets With all the shame that conquerors mete To a proud queen whom the years Have rendered dry though reign of tears.

"Ah well, What's past is past, And done is done. I've lived a lifetime in the sun; My course was swift And swiftly run. Tomorrow comes without our care; Regrets are neither here nor there.

"But now I think I'll have a smoke; Longevity is just a joke-- Could you give me a light? And by the way, I'd have to say To hell with this stupid diet!

So what if I should gain a pound-- Who knows how long I'll be around? I may indulge in something sweet; What does it matter what I eat? So please don't think that I'm a pig, I'm simply dying for a fig.”
