New nursery rhyme 😉

A song of sixpence

Pocket of ergot and rye

Dead blackbirds in pie

I love it!!! Like a Halloween version! 🖤

That darn song (the original) has been an earworm that comes and goes for weeks. I have no idea why. I thought rewriting it might snuff it out. 😊

Still there. I'm working on something a little darker and with a higher word count to do it in. 🙂

Haha! That’s the spirit!

You are dead, Jacob;

I buried you years ago.

Ergot, I am tripping...

😁 (see what I did there?)

RYE … WHISKEY

Amber elixir

Aged in charred oak, spicy kick

Rye whiskey's soul song

Sipped neat, smooth velvet

Cradled in crystal tulip

Rye's silken caress

Manhattans beckon

Rye's rich depths elegantly

Mingled with sweet vermouth

Crusty rye bread's mate

Savory spirits entwine

Delectably paired

Pour me another

Rye's warm solace by night's fire

Life's sublime pleasures

You’re making me thirsty… and it’s only 10am😅

Tricksy little ergot

I have seen new worlds,

Wrapped in sky, fear and time.

Ergot's final kiss
