The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

From Snicker To Liquor

Rollo Rigby was a lover of candy
he kept a big supply ever handy.
But he became so obese
he waddled like geese.
He quit candy but is hooked on brandy
(making his life fine and dandy).

G'day Paul … being hooked on anything has its drawbacks I guess, so either brandy and candy are in this club - thank you Paul - Lindsay

Ha ha, this is cute. Now if only he would share his Brandy with Mandy, they could name their first child Randy. However if it’s a girl they could name her Candy.

Thank you, Richard. It is certifiably true: With words you are supremely handy which is more than simply dandy. Blessings, Paul

I have to admit I am starting to feel like this waddler myself. Thanks for encouraging me to look in the mirror now while I waddle.

Thank you, Caren. Better to waddle than to stagger--right? Hugs, Paul

Thank you, Connie. If Rollo lived where you do, he would probably be addicted to pineapple juice--an excellent choice. Hugs, Paul

Paul, I couldn't help but smile when I read these words from your talented pen. :) This is cute, clever and creative. I am still near, my dear friend. I miss being at Starlite, seeing your words there. I hope all is well in your world. ~ Brandy
