Bouquet

He swirled the wine around his glass
and then he sniffed for its bouquet.
Some wilted flowers for his wife!
'A fine bouquet,' I heard her say.

Is this the wife you murdered, well I'm surprised she still talks to you! Your sense of humor always sharp Jack. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

I guess she had been drinking the wine instead of sniffing the flowers. Reads like a good contender for Constance's contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my pages. Sara
