The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

As He Poured The Wine

You are such a tool  go back to school 
they yelled at him without hindsight 
You got nothing between your ears  
pack it up Joe, walk only by night 

He took his thermos and left for Rome 
feeling like a dumbass, quite stupid
When he got there, two arms alone 
greeted him,       " dad your home!"

You would have thought the King arrived 
together they made Osso in Buco ...  
Drinking in the elixir of life his child derived 
happiness, for his dad was really in the know!  

Joe gave his resignation and became a chef 
no, they didn't ask him for a passport.  
He worked with a nice old man named Jeff
together they served Portuguese red port; 

No one ever made him feel like a dum-dum again  
as he poured the wine he asked, ... " say when?"
