The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Just An Old Fashioned Guy

Old-fashioned men are rare, they are few and far between
They treat you like you’re a princess or a beauty queen
Open doors for you and make sure you are fine
Listen to your every word, oh how simply divine

Take you out for dinner and don’t expect to get ‘paid’
Happy with a peck on the cheek not always getting laid
They get to know someone, inner thoughts they reveal
The simple things in life to them mean a great deal

If you find a man like this be prepared to fight
Others will want him too; hold on with all your might
He simply is romantic, has such an alluring charm
If you find this man hang on tightly to his arm

Lol, would he also be boring? If He is not, then I 'll take him. Lol, I am just kidding. Very nice, register him in some online website so for the world to see. He may go extinct, ha :)
