Fruit of the Vine

He loved fruit of the vine when out to dine

     It made his head whirl with feeling divine

          But he got behind the wheel

              Of his old automobile

                    Judge said jail time and hundred dollar fine

Placed No. 7 in Francine Robert's "Bottle of Wine, (fruit of the vine, when...)"  Contest
