The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

face and head became an apartment house

face was dissatisfied with her life
she spoke to head about their strife
he wanted something different too
I want to be witty, do not you?

She did not care about being witty
but she wanted to move to a city
They decided in a dream one day
To move to New York far away

I want to be an apartment house she said
“I agree!” instantly said the rest of her head
They detached from their body
And set off on a jet on the dot-ee

They conjured up a base and planted roots
Became an apartment housing for violins and flutes
People tried to move in too
But face and head said “shoo, shoo shoo!”
