A Taste of the Grape

Red or white, rose or blush...

There's nothing so sublime

As vintage nectar of the grape

Taken from the vine.

Pallet pleasures boldly bottled;

Placed upon the rack,

Silent soldiers at attention

Ready to attack

The senses of its' victims

Until they're overwhelmed,

Sending cold reality into

Another realm.

Softening and mellowing

And loosening the lips,

'Til the temperamental tongue

Starts shooting from the hip.

But done in moderation

There is nothing quite so fine

As the sweet aroma of the grape;

The nectar of the vine.
