SINCE I HAVE YOU

 

Since I have you
My days have gone from mere to bubbly grand.
I've shelved vins ordinaire like common ports,
For I have you.
My vinous ways had been quite troubly bland
With vials from kegs of vapid dreggy sorts;
Now I have you.
 
Since I have you,
I uncork goldish blondes and rose hues.
Life sparkles with what gems of fruity zest--
Since I have you--
That fills our nights in every rendezvous!
Brut, demi-sec, and Chardonnay--the rest--
And I have you!
 
Since I have you,
Life's viands now are graced with rich champagnes,
And as we taste them, tingling sweetness reigns
Within us two
Since I have you.
