Question

Fine Wine
By Jonni F.

"Would you care to try some wine?" I said,
"It's a lovely California Red,
not too sweet, not too dry,
I'd love for you to have a try"

He shook his head, and said "Oh, no,
wine is not the way I go -
Can't you show me something new,
maybe scotch from aisle two?"

I shook my head and said "I guess"
(paying clients, they know best)
Opened bottle, poured a pop,
he shook his head and said "don't stop"

I rolled my eyes, and poured some more
and started spewing whiskey lore.
He downed the shot with one last sip,
he sighed, and even licked his lips.

No wine was bought that crazy day,
Scotch whiskey was the only way.
I've learned this lesson, and it's true,
Open a bottle, they'll come to you.

Hey, Dr. Seuss meets Johnny Walker!

This is a cute construct. Who knows, maybe it will change the way we cross-sell alcohol to local townies forever.

Keep writing!
