I sometimes liken myself,
To a bottle of Chardonnay.
Not the expensive type,
Bit average, still OK.
In the mud, I’m not stuck.
Like a crammed in cork.
Don’t need a cork screw,
To get me to open up and talk.
My sense of humor,
Described as slightly dry.
And, not actually Brut,
I’m still bubbly, aren’t I?
I get along with,
The lightest of foods.
Crisp, bright and peachy,
Fit most all of your moods.
But, all may not prefer me.
That's OK. That's fine.
Desire rich and full bodied,
Like all of the red wines.
Swirl wine in their glass,
Check out the long legs.
Mine don’t run from the rim,
They’ll stand by you instead.
Red drinkers rather the type,
Sealed in the bottle for years.
Well, if the cork’s bad, it’s obvious,
Wine’s gone bad, my poor dear.
Yes, it’s all about the price.
Or, the region because.
Try a few sips of me,
You’ll still get a good buzz.
So, you prefer bottle of red,
In lieu of one of white.
Go, knock yourself out,
Your loss of appetite.

"WINE WHICH MAKETH GLAD THE HEART OF MAN" Thank you WB for your philoinic contribution. just in time for THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS ! CHARDONNAY is a very versatile grape that can be produced anywhere from the UK through to NEW ZEALAND. It is a very crisp while wine and is ideal with TURKEY and does not produce the ubiquitous hangovers of REDS ! In the UK a decent bottle can be bought for £3 ($5) and if drunk in a day loses none iof its flavour ! Any man who likens himself to HOUSE CHARDONNAY is a good friend of mine ~ especially during the festive season ! Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. I agree about the hangovers. And, sweet whites results in the same. So, I like dry, white wines. I say cheers to you and thanks for the comment. Happy Holiday.
Wonderfully written and expressed
Thanks Tony. I really appreciate that!
Welcome
I like the fact that your sense of humor like your poems are bubbly!
I like how you likened yourself to the different wines. Very neat!--Christina
I do prefer effervescent poetry...ha ha. I really appreciate your comments and thanks so much!
loved the write,i can kick back to a nice glass of wine ,and a here i am take me or leave me kinda attitude
Thank you so much Wordman. I wrote this because sometimes people take wine and poetry too seriously. Poets, like you and me and all on this site, write to express feelings, being sad, etc. We are all different, and we are all lucky because we can just sit down, with a glass of red or white, or anything we like and write. I appreciate your comments so much. Happy Thanksgiving!
my pleasure and have a great thanksgiving..
