The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Roses and Wine

A penny for your thoughts
  with inflation it’s a nickel
The longer you go on
  the more I find you fickle

You looked sincere, so genuine
  I’d have bought you roses and wine
But now you’ve opened your mouth so wide
  On fresh shoe leather I’ll let you dine

Last night Hubby and I did our accounts, Stricter measures have to be taken, For it really just amounts, That to cycling we have to reckon Must cut down on our bacon, And to reality awaken! Hugs and blessings Gershon, Jennifer. THINK I WILL POST THIS AS A POEM!
