The Wine Bards

Cd poets were singing forever OF
wine, their golden words ringing in
ecstacics fine With port and canary
their tummics were filled, and,
cheerful and merry, they buoynatly
trillcd. Oh, wine is the magic that
smooths out our path. and water is
tragic, except for bath. And wine
IS compelling a season OF peace, and
waters the dwelling of bullfrogs and
geese. ! seem to behold them, the
Dards of the past, for fame has en-
rolled them, their laurels will last.
In hall and in palace they chant to
he lords. and drink from chalice
iermented rewards. The lights are
al glowing and beauty is there, and
incense is throwing its fumes on the
air. Oh, wines the inspirer OF music
and art, and has an admlrer IN every
gay heart But 10, i'll the dawning
the poets appear, beshrewing, dog
coming, and empty of cheer. With
heads that are aching they rise from
the hay; with nerves that are quak-
ing they face a new day. These
singers, 50 noted, all groan when
;hey stir; their tongues are bccoated
with fungus and fur. The bards
never lifted OF wine when they woke.
for they were all wilted, their
throats full of smoke. And when
you're pcrusing their stanzas of
scorn for those who dodge boozlng
remember the morn! Remember
he waking, the molars on edge, the
heads that are aching, the signing
he pledge!
