Martinis are made using gin.
No other spirit goes in,
Except for Vermouth.
Now here’s the harsh truth:
To do otherwise is a sin!

Now vodka is fine in its place;
in martinis, though, never a trace!
It’s swilled on the docks,
Can be used to clean clocks,
Or in cranberry juice - on the rocks.

Oops. That second one violates the form. Oh, well - let it stand on the basis of sincerity and righteous indignation.
Update:
Oh, WTH - here's an alternate last line:
Here is my recipe for the JzB Martini.
3 oz Gordon's London Dry Gin
1 oz New Amsterdam Gin
1 oz Martini and Rossi Dry Vermouth
2 or 3 honkin' big pimiento stuffed olives skewered on a tooth pick
Ice cubes
Place ice in a steel drink shaker. Pour liquid ingredients over ice. Pause for a long moment (or a short minute). Mix the contents of the shaker by swirling. Continue until the shaker is too cold to handle, taking care to avoid frostbite.
Place skewered olives in a proper martini glass.
Pour the liquid over the olives.
Enjoy!

And I was hoping for the perfect vodka gimlet!
Whoooo! It's 110 degrees in the shade today!
Love ya,

Well, if it's a gimlet you crave, quite a variety can be found here.
But, even at that, a proper gimlet is made with gin.
In fact, I have to wonder why anybody bothers with vodka?
But that's just me.
Cheers!
