"Why don't you take drinks?"

Written for Jingle's Poetry Potluck ..March 14, 2011


"Why don't you take drinks?"


"Why don't you take drinks?"
He asks me holding his wine
In a shining goblet
Eyes too are shining
With pride and power
And two things make me wonder
One,why should he ask me this
Second, how does it matter to him
And I respond,
"For the same reason
For which you do.."
He doesn't understand
Taking another sip
He says, "hmm!"
Conversation doesn't flow
Wine does..
Hey don't you want to say
" Cheers!!!!"
Then say it dear
I am holding my glass of water
Hasn't some one said already
"Water is the best intoxicant
If taken with right spirit.."

  1. I enjoyed that. And I especially liked these lines:
    "Coversation doesn't flow
    Wine does."

    And three cheers; you stood your ground
