Some funny poems here and lots of LOLz. Mrs. Vino reports that while she appreciated the hat tips of a couple of the entries, she ended up selecting Steve’s as the “one that made her laugh the most.” But she concedes it won’t be adapted in in school curricula any time soon, so in that respect, he Italians still get to have all the fun. So thanks to all and, Steve, come on down and collect your prize!

Don’t you think it’s about time,
To stop demonizing wine!?
When your kids sit down to dine,
Let them suggest a line,
About the yummy fruit from the vine.
I’m not saying build wine a shrine,
But let us opine.
Wine can be found in the Rhine,
And in your backyard, or mine.
It is the the backbone, or spine,
Of what makes us all shine.
So let’s toast to the decline,
To all this nasty talk about wine!

There was a young boy from Calais
Whose parents drank wine every day
When he mentioned the folly
of quaffing from Brouilly
They sent him to bed with rosé.

Baby sippin’ milk
Parents sippin’ wine
Baby calls the cops to report the crime

Cops drive up with guns a blazin’
Obviously the parents need a major tazin’

Baby holds court, grievences are heard
Parents try to talk but can’t get in a word

Baby is quiet compelling, it all seems crystal clear
Cops even forget their love of Miller Beer

Prison bus drives the parents down the lane
Baby sealed the case that they were completely insane

I’ve titled this one, “Social Lubricant”:

Sauvignon Blanc looks,
Looking through the text books
What’s to say for Cabernet,
When schools already Convey
That You Know, We Know, there’s something DARK about the Pinot,
But with some help from Mrs. Vino,
Our kid’s foodie minds will be free, so
Let’s teach them responsibility over the fragility and instability being poured into everyone’s glass.
Is summer time year round now that schools teach kids without class?
Because if we cant, decant, then we chant; In Vino Veritas!
And if they can’t handle such a sobering statement, well, that’s their loss.

whiney babies trump
foodie babies wearing bibs
everywhere but here

Ouch – I was too quick to draw. so-ber (for a total of 6 syllables)

Does this count?

Father let me dip
My finger in the glass at
A young age. Sober!

Father let me dip
My finger in the glass at
A young age. Still sober!
