Notes About The Poem

Cheers

A glass of red wine spilt on cream carpet, I'm upbeat salt will remove the stain!

The glass is always full contest

If I didn't know that you don't drink, I'd wonder how many you had to make you spill. wink.

I wrote several lines Agnes but none of them seemed suitable then I thought of this one which sort of fits the contest theme with the ending being positive after the disaster:-) hugs jan xx

Hey that's great to know Agnes ... and a lot cheaper and better than wasting a good bottle of white wine... CHEERS:-) hugs Jan xx

It works, indeed. Red wine spilled at our housewarming party on the cream carpet, friend went home to get box of salt, and voila, no stain!

I'm told salt or white wine on red wine stains does the trick - but of course the best thing is not to spill it in the first place!:-) hugs Jan xx
