The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

A Toast

Here's a toast to your good health
and to multiply your wealth
May God's blessings overwhelm you with delight

Tell your worries and your debts
and those lingering regrets
to go take a running jump and fly a kite

May your joys outweigh your tears
all throughout the coming years
too much dreariness is such a bloody farce

May the things you're seeking after
fill your days and nights with laughter
and prosperity come bite you in the ar$e

May your friends be true and blue
and be always there for you
Let there be so many that you cannot count

May you age with style and grace
with no wrinkles on your face
like you've just been drinking from that youthful fount

May you find yourself a' falling
when your true love comes a' calling
and your lives together be a dream come true

So, you'll need a bigger bed
for the night that you are wed
safely snuggled with your true love next to you

I love the way you out-foxed the censors with this one: "May the things you're seeking after fill your days and nights with laughter and prosperity come bite you in the ar$e". I may have to try it if you do not mind. Well-said, my friend!

I didn't think that word typed with an actual "s" would be a problem, but when I went back to read it, it turned into 4 asterisks! So I tried the dollar sign and whammo! :)
