House of Swine

She was wined and dined at the restaurant with the fancy sign,
She whined about the cooked swine, seasoned perfectly with brine.
She whined about the wine, made with grapes picked from the vine,
She thought the grapes were crushed by the dirty hooves of the swine.

She went back to the restaurant with the fancy sign, at the age of sixty-nine,
It was so popular she had to stand in a long line.
She was ready to whine, but instead her face began to shine,
When she was told that she had aged like fine wine.

She thought back to the day when she was wined and dined, and began to pine,
For the young man who was now the owner of this popular "House of Swine."
She recalled him telling her, "One day this restaurant will be mine."

Fine wining and dining indeed. The making of your poem is surely divining. Makes me wish I had a glass of wine but sadly my body thinks otherwise. One glass and my head is not happy. Have yet to find one doesn't lead to headaches with one or two glasses. Your poems are perfecting like aged wine, gets better and better each time. :)

Aw, thanks so much for your kind words Pixie! I love the last sentence. : )
I love wine but I am the same as you. I can't drink it without getting one hell of a headache so I stay away from the stuff. How are you doing?

Yeah wine headaches are horrible. I will have one now and then but then get reminded why I stopped lol. I'm doing alright. Too much going on for me the past month, so all my posting stuff was put on the back burner so to speak. Am better now since I just got to talk with my son for 10 minutes. He is half way done with Basic Training for AF. I will return to posting more than comments and upvotes soon.
Hope you are doing well. You are rocking them poems. :)

Oh to age like fine wine. I'm aging more like an old boot!

I hear ya! It is hell when you get old. How is your foot?

I'm limping around like a champion, thanks for asking!
I'm tops today unless you want to move up in the world .......CU on the other side.

Aw, sorry to hear that you are still limping. Hope it gets better soon.
Bottoms up is good for me. See ya there. : )

What a surprise! Last week Marianne was late and this week she was early and so were you. Had I know I would have been able to do more than my 2.

Sorry sweetie, I saw Marianne posted early and since you worked solo last week I just motored on through. I hope that was ok.

Of course that is OK. I just feel bad that I couldn't be of more help.

I'm bottoms up today babe. C U centre!
Edit: I presume you're poorly so I finished all the deliveries and send you my best wishes.

Hi partner! Well, I did it again. Had a 3 day migraine and no sleep. It finally went away early Wednesday morning and I set the alarm but it blared for 3 hours before I heard it, and then it was too late. I am so sorry! : ( I will do all of next week if you would like me too. Thanks so much for your best wishes!

Howdy deirdyweirdy! what's wrong with your foot?

Nothing now. It's all better!

Howdy deirdyweirdy! well that's good, we don't want you to have to be hobbling around everywhere, that
might cramp your style!

Okay, that was really cute, and very imaginative. The picture really got my attention when I Iooked at it closely, because I have had a glass of wine in the Moselle area, long ago, and it was very good.

Thanks SG! You made me smile with your kind words. Isn't that something that I picked a picture you are familiar with? I don't know anything about wine except that it gives me one hell of a headache so I stay away from it.

I can't untwist my tongue from reading this out loud :-)

HaHa! I can always count on you for a reply that makes me laugh and this one is priceless! Now try to say it after a glass of wine. LOL!

The whiner ends up the loser - I love it! This reminds me in a good way of that Avril Lavigne song Sk8tr Boi -

haha! very cool Butterfly! I like this one. Gotta love a happy ending. lol. Well, at least no one died!
