Wine Divine

a sodden ramble a la vino! our vino speaker! ;)

why does wine
make me feel divine?
sets my soul to singing
as through my blood it's winging
pickling me
in happy!
if all the world were a wino
how pleasantly life would flow!
smooth as the jewelescent libation
peace would drunken every nation!
noble ferment!
precious each moment
on the lips
an ocean for the ships
of my emotions
to sail serenely on
trivial care, begone!
i'm visiting with my alcoholic friend
together, we scheme for trouble to end!
with little thought for the morrow
and its headache of sorrow!
ah, vino, you ancient boon to man,
helping every soul to feel he can
he must he will!
drown his cares in bittersweet swill...
