Poetry And Wine

I had some ideas in my head
My thoughts I must commit to page
They don’t come easy at my age
-
With a book of ideas I’d do it somehow
A press of the mouse, I hit ‘Buy it now’
The parcel arrived at quarter past ten
I ripped it open and picked up my pen
-
Blank pages and leather bound
No inspiration could be found
$12.99 and postage free
But the words inside were up to me
-
My mind was blank I couldn’t think
I dropped my pen and reached for a drink
My creative juices began to sing
As the Pinot Grigio did its thing
-
With furrowed brow and ideas consuming
I wrote away with the deadline looming
The words were pretty, they seemed to rhyme
It was looking good, or was it just the wine?
-
My poem was finished I clicked on print
The light was flashing I was out of ink
The computer beeped I looked with a frown
The signal was dead, the router was down
-
My options were over, I’d missed the deadline
So I pulled out the cork and finished my wine
Then it dawned on me, that this situation
Would be my next poem and new inspiration

My Brother Poet John,
Very cute story. Here's my take on it.
Pinot white, or Chardonnay
Merlot red, and Cabernet
All will work to bring a high
And make the pen hand start to fly
The mind gets loose, the thoughts then flow
The little poem starts then to grow
I toast to you my bottled friends
For all the brilliance your liquid sends
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
Cheers bud,have one on me.
Congratulations John! I think this calls for a nice bottle of wine.
Peace and Love,
