Author's Notes: "In Vino Veritas" is a Couplet that I completed on January 7, 2018. I wrote this Couplet tongue-in-cheek with a pronounced sense of humor in mind which should be obvious by the words and images I used in this write. I just happen to like both high quality wine and whiskey!! Also, do keep in mind that there is a deeper meaning intended by this poem which I shall leave for your various interpretations. Enjoy the thoughts and journey through this poem!!

In Vino Veritas, But Whiskey’s Better
In wine there is certainly such real-truth to be found,
And in whiskey there is even more of it to go around!
Wine may maketh one truly sagacious, whilst whiskey
Elevates one to a level known as “For Members Only!”
As modern-day bards seeketh true meaning in their daily
Thoughts—whiskey is man’s key to his baser instincts.
The soul doth prosper even better when fueled so truest
By the cryptic, elixir-like qualities of wine and whiskey!
And doth pray tell, I sayeth this must be so, and why not?
Well, both elixirs help to free man’s deepest inner spirit!
Wine is that exquisite medium for introspective reflection,
Whilst whiskey excites one’s self for immediate attention!
Let it be said though that wine and whiskey do complement
One another in man’s quest for real-truth in this crazy world!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
What more can one say?
