Fools' Gold

Stand the barrel on its bottom
  Fine wine, it proudly holds 

Turn it upside-down, misbegotten
  The wine's been proven fools' gold

I like the verse, Gershon. You made me think of when my husband and I use to go gold dredging. I found out pretty fast what the difference between gold and Fools gold.
