A Good Martini. (Welcome To Life Challenge)

by Mighty-Joe Young

The screaming mother’s haunting shrills peirced the ears of Dr. Young, before she left the O.R. The voluptous nurse who looked more at home on a pole surrounded by dollars, than a birthing room handed the washed infant to the doctor.
“New Gloves”
“Here doctor.”
“Martini.”
“Here doctor.”
“Cigar.”
“Here doctor.”
“Lit cigar.”
“Oh sorry.”

The doctor hit the remote and turned on the sounds of Miles Davis’s My Funny Valentine.
“Little guy hear Tony Williams on the drums? Man he could rip.”
“Are you still here?” He said to the nurse.
“Sorry doctor.” she replies as she walked out the door.
“Where was I? Oh yeah Miles Davis. When you here the way those drums pound out that back beat and then…wait..wait…. oh yeah that is it. Hear that muted trumpet, I know Gabriel doesnt blow it like that. I bet your wondering why i created this little moment? It is probably going to be the only pure moment you ever get.. Cuban Cigar, Icey wet Gin Martini, and Miles Davis..everything after this will just be filler.”

    crazy? I’d go after that doctor and beat him with my IV pole as soon as the epidural wore off and I could feel my legs! No smoking around my baby!
    You’re still nuts, man!

    ..everything after this will just be filler.” Nothing truer has ever been said. Or written. Hats off to you. Absolutely outstanding.

    Once again, you have floored me. Although I might have to go with some earlier Miles Davis (did i mention I LOVE jazz ) that included coltrane and philly joe, but a well balanced Gin Martini ( not vodka), and a nice cuban robusto makes me wish I wasn’t at work right now.
