#iheartchardonnay

How I never understand you
You win the hearts of many
but at first, not of mine
I didn’t have the right bills
or connections
to have you in my glass
they say you have class
how I wish I knew and fully grasped
what you possess
sometimes you’re fat, sometimes lean
depending on where the origin
you have a sultry relationship with oak
some folks
wouldn’t have it any other way
I say
I prefer the naked version
from time to time
or those from northern Italy
some say, that’s a pity
then they feel the sun of the Tuscan lick their lips
the southern hemisphere has taken a liking
been this way, for a while
I take the trials
that seduce me
I am more about the underdog
such as Chablis
or Mâconnais
it’s a phase
it’s my choice
doesn’t every woman have one
we are entitled to the ways of the adaptable grape
that has stolen the hearts of many ages
that which steeps within the land of those grazing
how to interpret your glory
you represent sexy and lean in separate apartments
and still come up breathing
I wish I had your personality
oh Chardonnay
you perplex me
but more so, you taste with desire every time
because you give and never take
