A loaf of bread, a bottle of wine and a fine cigar

“So, this is what love tastes like”
Said The Worm
refilling his plate

And in gulping reply
Dogboy concurred
“Not at all as bitter, as I had remembered”

“Perhaps it’s an acquired taste
like a single malt scotch”
“Or the peppery berries in a big oaky Cabernet?”

(“Lets just say that it satisfies” said Iggy
as he puffed his Cohiba, “and leave it at that”)

smiling wide.

Okay, okay, I understand the metaphors of the loaf of bread as soul, the wine as the physical, but the cigar?

cracking up here.

You are gonna get me in trouble with your damned cigars.

I love this Ish. Love looks good on you.

And I am right behind her, laughing myself silly as I can't even leave my comment about the cigar.  But...yes, in the end it is satisfying.
