In a small cafe.

Waiter! 

Pour me another glass of that fine wine.

I've already forgotten the name.

Its called Memory Loss, Sir.

Yes! That's the one. A fine drink if ever

I've had one. What's it called again?

Memory Loss!

Oh yes!

What else do you recommend?

Well Sir I can suggest a few.

We have Misinformation

a heavy wine not for the faint-hearted

to misguide and misinform

as the title suggests

followed by a Mischief

a reckless wine with intent

to play on one's decency

and then may I suggest

The Last Drink,

a sort of farewell wine

that takes your breath away

and releases you

into the heavens above

or the depths of below.

I'll have Mischief.

It's playing

on my mind right now 

and I haven't had a drop.

Good choice Sir.

What's this place called again?

Its the Wines of Misgivings Cafe.

you've outdone yourself with this one. a real corker or uncorker as the case may be. when i'm old and failing i think it would be well worth a visit. i hope i don't need a reservation though ... :)

[andrew mitchell]

Haha I hope you don’t have these wines Pete. Thank you very much Pete for your kind words and stopping by.

all my wines come with the letter 'h' in them ... :)

Elegantly held conceit- that also reveals as it tumbles flows along - impressive piece of work Andrew

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much Michael.

I believe I know that Café … I have a table in the corner, close to the wine cellar … the waiter knows my name and my choice of beverage … it was Mischief at one time, but now I lean more toward the Moribund a delightful bit of grape with just enough wit and a hint of sarcasm.

A good write Andrew

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much Ted, these writes are fun to do lol.

[R.E. Ray]

As a naturally sarcastic man, I love this one. Perfect wine names (I could image something similar with whiskey) that we can taste here. Alcohol is a sad escape from reality, but temporary and often followed with the worst hangovers. No dripping sarcasm, Andrew, all truth. :)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much Robert. I have always admired Dave Allen and his wit and John Cleese. Sarcasm at its best, dry but very funny.

as always thank you for a delightful review. I was hoping others would enjoy this too in its macabre way that it was portrayed.
