Sauvignon (Free verse) by Dovina

Try my L’orangerie Ninety-Four I’ve saved it for this special night Loire Valley southwest of Paris and tell me how it feels So he raised a glass swirled expertly inspected legs inserted his member sensing bouquet “Full-bodied, fine” he said “You’ve a French sensibility” “Thank you,” I sighed breathing heavily He tasted, smiled bid me drink ahead a gentleman to be sure When we’d drunk our fill and said goodnight I returned bottle to rack brought from hiding the empty Two-Buck-Chuck and put it in the trash

Could you honestly not tell the difference between it and the two-dollar wine? Call me clothesminded, but it strikes me that for a metaphor to work, the real-world thing it's referencing (in this case, the actual wine,) has to work. I'd be hard-pressed to name someone (even among the Islams here) who couldn't tell the difference between $2 and $10 bottles of wine.
