but i’m up for it!

Yesterday’s over
and it shouldn’t bother me
when tomorrow comes!

You gotta know now
how much I love drinking beer
and all it offers

and I was lucky
to spend a cool afternoon
at Bold City’s home

this young brewery
is just now celebrating
it’s first year around!

we started our trip
sampling all of their craft beers
they laid before us

started light to dark
and each beer tasted better
than the one before

the sweet barmaidens
made us feel so comfortable
and knew everything

the handed us beers
with some careful attention
and that means a lot!

we started the tour
and saw the grinding process
used to create beer

the machines at work
and with some painstaking care
great beer is produced

it felt like heaven
a warehouse filled with barrels
of freshly brewed beer

and the aroma
warm, delicious and haughty
it just lured me in

and unlike sausage
watching the grueling process
just made me thirsty

Thank you Bold City
letting us into your home
with welcoming arms!

I eagerly wait
to visit you one more time
for some christmas brew!

For those who don’t know
If you want to have some fun
you go to SINCLAIR

always inviting
and it’s always alluring
and a load of fun!

It’s the second month
for the Dr Sketchy’s show
and it was splendid!

Anita greets us
with warm up exercises
and a round of shots!

so sly and charming
even when she’s insulting
you gotta love her!

Sammy takes the stage
and is sweeter than candies
she is posing with

look how she sparkles
and just makes your mouth water
with sensual bliss

as she relaxes
subtle like a dinner mint
on a soft pillow

the crowd is entranced
and can’t take their eyes away
from this confection

so dainty and poised
i’ve never enjoyed a treat
quite like samantha!

then we get treated
to Aaron’s sweet serenade
the melts in our hearts

and as we are filled
with sweet delicious sake!
we get an eyeful!

And the main display
Samantha lays out her treats
for us to enjoy!

as the night winds down
I am thinking of next month
an what is in store!

Thanks to the Sinclair
for being such gracious hosts
and amazing fun!
