Oh Antoinette, where for art thou?
Modern lexicon and the world's vernacular has been forever changed by technology...which is a good thing since modern thought can barely make it to 140 characters as it is, lol! But omd (oh mon dieu) First we had Brexit, then MAGA, now we may have Frexit. Then the Greeks will Grexit, but what if Germany wants to get off the euro bandwagon...we'll have to call it Grrrexit...oh Grrreat, they'll have to elect Tony the Tiger, or maybe even T. I. Double Ga. Er!
You know who I'm talking about, LMAO! Well I'm not a wordsmith and I didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night...but the world needs some hard truths right now and it can be found in two places. First in the words of the greatest wordsmith before Snoop Dogg, Bill Shakespeare (aka O.G.), who's life and death we commemorate this week (fo shizzle my nizzles). Then of course...Wine, because the "wine cup is the little silver well where truth, if truth there be, doth dwell." Shakespeare (BS for you tweeters) knew it was wise to bury the hatchet not in the back of your rivals, but rather with a "...bowl of wine, in this bury all unkindness." Caeser didn't provide wine, so Brutus went with option 1, as Caesar exclaimed, "et tu Brute?" Which translates roughly as "but the champagne is on the way!" Don't let history repeat itself...get your wine cellar stocked anon! Then all you world leaders follow the lead of Othello and pop a cork instead of a cap because "good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be well used." Time to transition to warm weather wines and time to be the life of your party whether it be Republican, Democrat, or Toga. Be like Shakespeare...let the B.S. flow, break out the cases of wine, join the one party everyone likes because "...good wine needs no bush," and once you start poppin corks you'll be Notorious! A t-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape...Conversate for a few, 'cause in a few, we gon' do...What we came to do, ain't that right boo (true)"I love it when you call me big poppa" Throw your hands in the air, if youse a true player.
And in honor of B.S. I give you a retread of my O.G. remix of Shakespeare's most famous sonnet, #18 "What is life without vintage cabernet"
What is life without vintage cabernet?
Tis sure less lovely and less opulent:
Rough winds do shake the budding vines of May,
And summer's lease shall too shortly be spent:
Sometime too hot for vintages to shine,
And often the clouds and coolness dimm'd;
And per chance as not, grapes nectar decline,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But for the select their worth shall not fade
Nor lose the beauty that Bacchus owest;
Nor shall intemperate summer cast shade,
And once in bottle eternal growest:
So long as men can breathe and senses taste,
So long lives this, must drink wine must make haste!
Word!
