Nisha S. Shankar is a very introspective, thoughtful, and intellectually curious young adult. She is musically talented and has been playing piano from the age of six. She is an amazing artist who is witty and incredibly smart. What started out as a challenge between two sisters regarding whether Nisha could write a poem about any topic led to "Murder on the Whiskey Express," the first of these series of drink-related poems. An impressive feat, considering she has

never tasted the drinks herself!
