Notes About The Poem

This was inspired by a post by none other than KING RICHARD!

The Wisdom of King Arthur 1

Dialogue

When 2 people each have a glass of wine, and listen to the others viewpoint

Debate

When 2 people each drink a bottle of wine and make damn sure the other person knows they are right, both argue until one falls asleep.


Battle

when each person drinks 6 bottles of wine each, fiercely argue their point, breaking all 12 bottles in half to be used as weapons of convincing, until both lie in a pool of blood.


War

When each side drinks 6 bottles of wine rounds up all the villagers and they each drink 6 bottle of wine, and attack the other village for not agreeing to their point of view. When one village is almost wiped out then the other side with all their wounded wine drinkers, then declares victory.

United Nations

When to stop the two sides from debating their opinions in war like manner, they come and set a boundary between the two villages. Of course because they are unarmed, they bring cases of wine to give to both sides, to sooth the wounded and calm down the rest. Any minor conflicts are resolved with a glass of wine and a mediator.

A Vineyard somewhere in France

ahh Jacque, regarde, look, this beautiful vineyard of grapes, and this beautiful summer morning! ah oui oui tres beaux!  Yes Monsieur Antoine, so true, what a wonderful trade, satisfying the thirst of people and knowledge, that you bring such peace and protection to the world, Antoine truly, bless you.

Hi Arthur, an excellent write my friend. There is such humour within a serious write. One sees both sides of this poem. Thought-provoking indeed. When I was young and got legless I had a propensity to fall over. Anything in front of me, I went over. The way you put things is brilliant Arthur. Have a wonderful Friday. Your friend always....Mike.

I found this very interesting. I had to read it twice and felt like I understood something about how the world works in a different way :)

Thought provoking piece on so many levels Makes me so glad I rarely drink Art, getting legless really can have such serious consequences and then folk whine they get banged up in prison lol:-) hugs Jan xx

I'll drink to that, cheers! It just had to be said, Great Bear. Lol... Now I must visit some wineries to make war and peace together as one. After all, it just makes sense, lol. This is a favourite.
