Poem Title:
Poem
Like a present long waited for that is sealed I’m in and out of love and don’t know how to feel Although my love life has come to a yield Now is the time to harvest the fresh fruit in the field. I’ve picked apples and oranges To lemons and limes But I need someone that will marinate Into a fine wine I can’t create a prototype although I’m whipping the base To sample and see how well it tastes I’ve had a couple that has tried to make a case But it just wasn’t my acquired taste Had a blend a while back of strawberry and peach Started to enjoy the blend though it was too sweet Shaped around into a bottle of Eisenwine ’85 I knew I had plenty Then it turned out to resemble the taste of Mad Dog 20/20. In the field I happened to pass by another peach I thought it was out of my reach All of my friends told me to pick her please Even though it felt like she instead picked me Things were sweeter after we started to intertwine Like a Chenin Blanc ’00, she was a light white wine Our fermentation didn’t turn as well as prepared Then I found out the whole time my wine was being shared Her wine was discontinued and taken off the shelf Although I still bootleg on occasion cause my skills are superior to anyone else But now the Chenin Blanc’00 tastes more like Chenin Blanc’78 And I know it's at its best between 3 to 5 years after the date. My year is expired and pouring her out is the hardest Until I realized that she was not the end of my harvest. My last harvest has the blend of peaches,berries, and grapes Shes got a hold on my taste buds that I can’t escape Weve known each other for a while and Ive watched her blend Shes a little pricey but I wonder should I put in a bid Theyre other wines that are close to her And other samplers that wouldn't approve At this point I feel like I have nothing to lose The sample thus far has got me bent She must have been heaven sent Slender with sex appeal from her eyes to her toenails Like a bottle of ’86 White Zinfandel Shes intriguing at every stage Like Zinfandel, shes going to get better with age The thing that hurts about keeping it to myself Is that I know there is not another one on the shelf Comparing her to other wines is a waste Cause deep down inside I know shes my acquired taste Now you see why my love life is at a yield I should just harvest the fresh fruit in the field For this particular fruit, Id put down my last dime To see if she'll marinate into my glass of wine
