Sunlite Wanter Poet Light Verse

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.

David Smith January 3, 2020 at 1:33 PM 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

Sandra Adams December 19, 2019 at 6:52 PM 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 Sunlite Wanter December 20, 2019 at 10:41 AM I don't know how it works for chest congestion - LOL. Thanks for your comments.

Anne-Lise Andresen December 19, 2019 at 1:52 PM - All I know about wine ... is that it is made from grapes :))) - Save it for next Christmas .... - I wish you a peaceful and beautiful Christmas, Sunlite :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Sunlite Wanter December 20, 2019 at 10:42 AM Now aren't you cute in your new afatar! Merry Christmas to you, too.

Chris Green December 19, 2019 at 1:16 PM 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.
