Taste Bud Duel

An invitation from Andy did not reach fruition -

A nip of his favorite tipple was an omission

I finally could not tolerate and thus did my own thing -

Invested in a bottle Andy assured would bring some zing

My oh my – zing it did but for all the wrong reasons;

My tastebuds told me ‘twas decayed organic accretions,

‘Earthy’ would cover it quite nicely and I, a devotee

Of single malt scotch rebalanced that against my throat’s plea.

 

No more; what to do? A body rub? Let’s give it a go…

It was peaty the small print bottle label declared, and so,

That ‘earthy’ might project my masculinity to someone….

But the café lady I quite fancied would disappear to the kitchen on my approach – no more fun!
