I’m not a big fan of rosé.
Drink anything pink? I say “Nay!”
I’ll have white wine or red,
Or some cognac, instead.
Even better, tequila! Olé!
Happy International Rosé Day! (August 14)

Not Tickled Pink Over Rosé (Limerick)
Wednesday, August 14th, 2019The Proof Is In The Drinking (Limerick) (Updated)
Tuesday, February 12th, 2013Bad news for bourbon fans, like my husband Mark:
Maker’s Mark bourbon will lower the alcohol content in its bourbon from 45 percent to 42 percent.
Chief operating officer Rob Samuels said the reduction is the only way to meet higher demand…
The Proof Is In The Drinking (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Maker’s Mark has announced that it’s curbin’
The alcohol content of bourbon.
Now this isn’t a spoof–
I could give you the proof.
I’m just glad they’re not cognac disturbin’.
UPDATE: Maker’s Mark has wisely decided to reverse its decision. It won’t be watering down its bourbon, after all.
Wishing You A Spirited New Year (Limerick and Haiku Prompt 4)
Friday, December 28th, 2007Sorry for the late post! My father’s very ill, and I’ve been traveling between New York and North Carolina.
Today’s limerick and haiku themes are wine and spirits or the New Year or, if you prefer, both. Here’s my wine and spirits limerick:
The bartender offered cheap brandy.
“No fine cognac?” I whined—wasn’t handy.
So I had to decline,
Mulled and ordered dry wine—
Told the barkeep, “Your cab tastes like candy!”
Here’s a wine snob haiku, the first of today’s two haiku:
Decant, sniff, sip, spit—
Wine connoisseur’s ritual.
I’d rather just drink.
And here’s a haiku that combines both themes:
Champagne bubbles dance.
Spirited revelers toast.
A new year’s welcomed.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about today’s theme(s). When you’ve posted your verse, please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry.
