The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Ash Left of Cash

Adult spending like a lass, 
Hard-earned cash burning like gas:
What is left of it mere ash;
The once careful with cash rash:

Was peace being some Trojan Horse
For having not courted force?
No voice had declared A Must
And Kent fed self long starved lust...

A long worshipped rope he'd gripped,
Through fingers Good Wealth had slipped;
Kent's Trojan Horse Madam Peace,
For twelve straight might on lease...

Kent, now the quite mesmerized,
Has lost that he had memorized.
