THE VINTNER
His stock is rosy red, his nose
bloodhound sensitive;
Bordeaux and Burgundy, the river Loire,
California, Australia, China,
he's traveled far!
The glory of wine (of viti-culture)
he can extol: Cabernets, Chardonnay
Muscadet, Bacchus of the industry
he rolls the names around his tongue
leaving no Chateau or wine unsung:
Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour,
Chateau Mouton, Chateau Margaux.
Sir, I've been withering on the vine
not knowing anything about wine;
not exactly a lager boy, but no far behind.
