I Was Offered Cherries

I Was Offered Cherries

The grapes were all ripened.
They clung to the vine,
And the air was redolent
With the sweet smell of wine,
And I was offered cherries
By a young lass divine...

Her lips were like honey,
So sweet to the taste,
And budding young breasts
Over a thin lovely waist.
And I was offered cherries
By a young lass so chaste...

Her hair was the color
Of a fine Chardonnay,
Her cheeks were a-blush
In the grass where we lay.
And I was offered cherries
By a young lass today...

Thanks my friend. As far as staring, well, I'm a married man you know. *chuckle* On a diet if you will. It was done on a bet. Thanks for reading. I was getting a bit worried about you.
