Haiku is an important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Modern day haiku is a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. I’m no poet, haiku or otherwise, as you’ll soon see.

Life without good wine

a novel without a plot

so hard to endure

When I drink too much

my life runs at a slow pace

but I miss so much

Beer in the morning

white wine with my early lunch

a cocktail at dusk

A tribute to wine

God’s wonderful gift to us

makes life far sweeter

God gave us wine to sip

to make our lives brighter

and to fuel our souls

We drink lots of wine

saving wonderful champagne

for our special days

Beer, our liquid bread

is food for our troubled souls

and life’s great reward

White wine with chicken

red wine goes best with beef

champagne with dessert

The Scots make Scotch

the Irish make whiskey too

but bourbon is ours

Drink and be merry

tomorrow will be here soon

and our lives soon end

How much wine is there

in a barrel and a half

who gives a damn, drink

When I drink too much

the world seems a lot better

but I’m soon asleep

Hangovers are tough

headaches and a cotton mouth

what a price to pay

Bordeaux in crystal

cheap wine in a Mason jar

I enjoy ‘em both

What will you request

on the last night of your life

I’ll have a scotch neat

Beer isn’t always

the amber color of wheat

it can be coal black

Cheers, santé, prost and salute

toasts heard around the planet

is everyone drunk

A scotch and water

may be the best drink of all

or a gin and tonic

They say martinis

should be shaken not stirred

I like ‘em both ways

A brandy at night

is one of God’s gifts to us

so drink and enjoy
