The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Our Grass

In Sunshine's joy, babes leap barefoot
On a cushion of green,
And the grass laughs; kneeling serene
Before ten toes so soft.

But when dusk falls and the streets throb
And when teacups yawn and easels 
Replace tight silk ties; then grass shrieks
Before polished boots so tall.
