Changing Tastes Part 1: Booze

My body has changed as I’ve aged

But that’s OK - I’m not enraged

Something that I never knew

Was that my tastebuds would change too.

I browse around the liquor store

And see wine, beer, spirits, and more

All those drinks, so artfully arranged

But, oh, how my tastes have changed!

I once thought wine sweet and fruity

Was a thing of endless beauty

But now I’d rather end my day

With a nice cab sav🍷 or chardonnay. 

I decline spirits, mixed and pure

I’d much prefer a smooth liqueur

I’ve cut back on beer, coz I can tell

All that gas makes my tummy swell…

With all those changes, you may think

There’s not much left for me to drink

Baileys? Kahlua? Make mine a double!
And I never say "no" to some (dry) bubbles 🍾
