The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

My Inner Spirit`s

With all of our might
We do what is right
The gist out of this
Is so hard to miss

I’ve kissed and missed
Got pissed and hissed
Cause I was out until four

It was so frigid
That I was froze rigid
When I was pulled ashore

But I made it out
Had a bit of a bout
With a very large bottle of spirits

And I let it win
It took me for a spin
Sometimes I’d wake on the floor

I’d get up from my sleep
Sometimes I would weep
But then I would go to the store

And buy a bottle of booze
Have an afternoon snooze
That’s how I could party til four

Got into my car 
To go to the bar
And woke up when pulled through the door

Now I don’t have a car
And don’t go to the bar
Because now I don’t drink anymore

And I tell you all 
No matter how small
I will never touch alcohol
