Quite extraordinary
Then I met a man with a slighter than slight lisp, ill-equipped when it came to the ways of a connoisseur, a fine and cheap bottle of wine from LIDL, a colour that matched the sky
A poetic drinker? Not so much, just another soul unaware of the chink
Funny though, certainly makes you think
