Love and Wine (Advice to a Teenager)©

Greetings Hairballers,

I’ve been doing NaPoWriMo, a poem a day for National Poetry Month.  Usually just batting stuff out to be reworked later.  Everyday has a prompt, which you can use as inspiration or not.  The other day, it was “love and wine.”

Omar Khayyam wrote of love and wine so eloquently that the Yankees retired his number.

I, on the other hand, decided to have a go at a rap lyric.  Don’t know where this came from, but here it is.

Love and Wine (Advice to a Teenager)© 

FMHorner

if you’re in love

and you love wine

you’d better slow down

or you’ll cross the line

the barriers blur

the more you drink

you feel all right

that’s what you think

it’s only one time

what’s the harm?

throw caution to the wind

no need for alarm

the 60s are over

they’re in the past

now what you do

could last and last

you’re brain’s in your head

not in your crotch

put on the condom

or your life you may botch

Hairballs,
