Friar's Foible

There once was a friar respectable 
All thought of him purely impeccable
	He took grape from the vine
	then fermented strong wine
And now he is more than deprecable

Perfectly penned, Linda! Friars are NOT to drink: They cannot indulge in 'pleasures of the flesh.' Their loss, as far as I'm concerned. ~ Not a Friar

Ha Gershon! I remember dear Friar Tuck from Sherwood Forest. LOL and yes, their loss as far as I'm concerned as well. Linda

Nothing wrong with drinking wine, unless one exaggerates. ~~

It has a delightful cadence but sadly there is a realism that ruins lives.
