The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Ole Boy Head

13 years have passed
But I miss you still
Nobody will ever break the bond
Between a dog and a child

Brown shaggy hair with black spots
He wasn't a purebred with a pedigree
But the fact that people called him a mut
Sure as hell didn't matter to me

He bit me in the head
Every time I remember it I find it funny
He bit me in the same place he was named
But that never stopped me from loving him
To this very day

Sometimes I wonder
What would've happened if that car
Hadn't hit you that day

I wonder 
How many years
Would we still have to play

The three years I knew you
Were the grandest ones ever
And in my heart I know we will always be
Together
