July 15, 2016 - Is this my ode to CDP?
It says something about me
That I almost never see
Food that doesn't pair really well
With its loamy,earthy taste and smell
At least that's the story I tell
Truth be told,
I might not serve it with filet of sole
But if you did, I'd just call it bold
And savor every velvet drop
Against that buttery, lemony pop
I wouldn't stop.
Often I will drink a sabon
With nothing, just on its own
And so enjoy its herbal tones
But I drank one with sushi last night
And it even then seemed right
Friendly and big yet somehow light
Of course not all sushi is the same
You may think it delicate, just by name
But in this case, mine wasn't so tame
Crunchy tuna rolls with lots of spice
Oily salmon and mackerel by the slice
With perfectly seasoned sticky rice
I want to tell you more about the wine
How purple, how full, how smooth, how fine...
But there was no real analysis of the vine
On this particular night, in this particular case,
Just wine and dinner going in my face
At the right time and in the right place.1 person found this helpful 4,178 views
