Whine Bottle

At first...
          Cheerfully shared for liquid celebrations
           For all of the right reasons.

And then...
           Abruptly emptied to become a whine bottle
           For all of the wrong reasons.

There is nothing wrong with drinking in moderation for a good reason, but turning to the bottle for the wrong reasons is definitely not advisable. ~ Regards // paul Gail Debole January 10, 2023 at 4:23 AM Hi Paul, Thank you for stopping by and leaving me your positive feedback. Hope the new year is starting out on a positive note for you and yours. - Gail
