A Little Bottle of Wine

A Little Bottle of Wine Last Christmas I received A gaily wrapped bottle of wine; It’s so pretty just sitting on the shelf, Tempting me all the time. I know nothing of red, white, and merlot, But I think I’d feel sophisticated, If I put on my sheer silk robe, And with a crystal glass, feel satiated. For you see, the bottle is one serving size, And I’d have to drink it alone, So I guess I’ll use it in den décor, And play like I know something I don’t. Used on PoetrySoup 12/30/18

With me it is Baileys or Amarula Cream or I got given an NZ one called called Lewis Road Creamery from my Daughter. Very decadent and ridiculously expensive. I also got Baileys Chocolate. I exercise self control for the rest of the year and hope and hope you get your quota of sunlight. Best wishes for the coming year. Like your latest effort. David in NZ

it sounds like a pretty bottle of wine...rather than drink it alone, i think i'd keep it for decoration too...buy a bigger bottle to share...i myself know nothing about win, except in italy they use it for chest congestion...a trick i was taught that works wonders... love this sunlite... :) hugs

I read this and commented and when I hit validate it was gone! Happy to see it return. This one feels a bit sad because you have to consume it alone but there is still a cheerfulness to it that I always seem to find when I read something from you my friend. Happy Holidays my friend.
