Wine lingo

The vocabulary for the description of wines enters a new realm...

Azerbaijan Azure Arbor

A delicate blend of sweet succulent hybrid genetically modified grapes from the irrigated Central Asian Steppe Lands of the former Soviet Union.  Mellow wines with deep fruity flavour, aged to perfection in hand crafted industrial textile plywood vats then set to age for what should be years, this effervescent blended bouquet is filtered and bottled by our trained full time child staff in humidity controlled warehouse units under strict War Lord protection, who offer their seal or quality assurance and vintage excellence for the discerning connoisseur.  Your to enjoy.

The Digital Loss of Communication

My son-in-law has 1137 channels

on his dish

now with Kobo and his Android he

has hundreds more

digital and surround sound

in his livingroom.

five remotes rest on the coffee table

I have no clue which to use

surfing the globe he can watch

wrestling in Japan,

cooking shows from Portugal,

soccer from Argentina, or

Monster Trucks from Wisconsin,

there are five flat screens arrayed

through the house

with

ipads for kids
Smarts phones,
social media

monitors always beaming

no one ever reading

the dinner table no place

for

talk.

Professional Development Portfolio:

“Bureaucratic Enhancement of the

My anticipation is peaked.

alert…

Momentarily, suspended

attention to detail, my head does

a tiny bobbing action,

like Bob-the-dog on the dash

of my son’s Subaru.

Side tracked

The tailored high priced

speaker

drones on

and

on as my eyes roll,

the painful head jerk

to reality,

reaction like whiplash

in a head-on-car crash.

I’m awake

just resting my eyes,

“This study includes

two relevant ministry categories…”

More relevant, if only

I had more black coffee.
