Lake Superior Martini

This is a random thought I had while walking to work in Canal Park one winter morning...

The icy southwestern tip of Lake Superior
Is like a humongous martini.
(stirred, not shaken)
Duluth is a piano bar,
I am a piano player.
My feet tickle the wooden ivories of the lakewalk
As I walk to work on a cold winter morning.
