I will drink coffee
and you will drink lovely tea
but she drinks wine, gosh
that is rather radical
yes indeed, what a woman
“Don’t look at me in that tone of voice.”
let’s slide closer to her
look, she talks fast and loudly
very funny though
she’s so, so dry, isn’t she
and we know her name, don’t we
― Dorothy Parker

This image shows someone holding three cups and the cups are made in the image of a woman’s face. The expression on the three cups are slightly different from each other.

Coffee, tea, or wine — the sense of sadness and the loudness are perceptible! Both the image and the verse are beautifully conveyed. 🌺

I should have done this as a Clerihew, shouldn’t I. But I forgot about that. Duh!

Hehe! There is no rule against rewriting as a clerihew. There was a scavenger hunt way back in 2007 or maybe earlier where we were asked to take a poem and then rewrite it as a haiku, sonnet, limerick, etc. It was a challenge and one that really made me stretch as a poet…
