A Tangerine sun glazed The Travis Vineyard <br />While the Deep Purple haze, just glowed <br />The aroma's from all of the picked grapes <br />Filled Napa's Colored-flavored show! <br /> <br />The Valley 'tis filled with a bounty <br />Of future vino's of varying kinds <br />Aged and then tingled to the palate <br />'Tis Ambrosia, most divine, from the vine! <br /> <br />The succulent grape and its splendour <br />Shines the California's-near-by coast <br />The valley, itself, 'Tis a purple Wonder <br />Growing the most primo for its hosts <br /> <br />Perhaps a wine tasting party? <br />Hmmmm, wonder, if The Gallo's might attend? <br />It will truly be a celebration <br />As the days of Wine, are just 'round the bend! <br /> <br />Oh, did i leave off, The Roses? <br />My mistake, Mon Amore. <br />The title would not be complete <br />As it was, in the days of yore! <br /> <br />Back when it was a Movie <br />Back when it was a romantic song <br />Back in the time of old actors (Jack Lemmon) <br />Back when the wine could do no wrong! <br /> <br />'The Days Of Wine And Roses' <br />It taps at my long ago memory <br />Taking me back to a time <br />When the grape was truly very new to me!<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-days-of-wine-and-roses/
