A Sip of Wine

A sip of wine feels oh, so fine When I encounter tension. It calms the nerves and too, preserves Reality’s suspension. A glass of wine’s not out of line When there’s some apprehension That things won’t be so fancy-free, Though that’s not your intention. A wine carafe might make you laugh And, maybe by extension, Your worries flee and then you’ll see The powers of prevention. A jug of wine may help define And call to your attention, The fact that life is filled with strife, Which nobody will mention. So have a drink; your fears will shrink. I’ll broker no dissension – And then you’ll sleep and problems keep In slumberland’s dimension.
