In Vino Veritas
Truth …
In wine?
Pull the other one.
Stick it on me, babe
I’ll believe it when I feel it
Next you’ll be persuading me
Love is blind
When everyone knows
However fickle
It’s in the beholder’s ken
The plaything of their whim
Their only hope for the future
Then
You’ll be saying
Time flies
When we all know
It sinks and swims
Runs and stutters
Can’t make its mind up
Whether to be patient
Or restive
Anxious or unhurried
And as for
Life being for living
Non sequiturs
Don’t come better than that
Its for laughing
For crying
But….
Above all it’s for dying
For returning to the earth which spawned us
For calling time on the pain of living
For …
And this we must remember …
As the old song goes
You can’t have one without the other.
Sic transit gloria mundi
