Beers&Books XXXV

Thanks, Saint Nicholas!
This morning in my boots I found
exactly the six books I had asked for.
Plus: A bottle of Talisker.
I almost fainted:
of joy and disappointment.
Had not my third wish been
to find the author in my boot
so that, after all,
we could share the bottle?!
Oh well,
to prove my good will
I shall drink each second wee dram
on his behalf.
Sláinte, Andrew!

P.S. In a little note I just discovered
where usually my toes are to be found,
St. Nicholas let me know
that it would have been his pleasure
to present me with the author,
"but your boots are to small".

Laughing Lhursday*: Whisky galore

Whisky Galore:
The novel,
the film
and a few empty bottles.

Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
