In Vino Veritas
“It is the wine, it is the wine speaking and not the man.
I say that our bold Danaus would not speak so if he were sober.”
“He seems very solid in his disclaimers against thee, Ardin.”
“Nay, he has but tasted too much of Dionysos’ ware, loves me like a brother!”
“My dear Sir Charles! What is this blasphemy I hear you say?
You really must watch your tongue dear fellow and speak not against the Queen!”
“Elisabeth has grown drunk on power, Sir James, it matters not to her how we pray!
Let one of us raise his voice in true public though, and off with our heads, I ween!”
“Hey man, come have a drink with me. You know there’s one more thing about this mess
That even a blind man could see, but apparently not our elected gov’ment!”
“What’s that, Tequila Sammy?” “ You make a mistake, man, you just confess!
People understand mistakes. Hey, not like something you really meant! “
Truth is a funny thing people say and often as not quite hard to find.
But since the very oldest of day nothing trips up the tongue like wine…
