Analysis of Jug Of Wine
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the bend
for he knew through some design
in life all things end
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the dock
for he knew through some design
in life all things rock
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the lane
for he knew through some design
in life all things wane
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the gate
for he knew through some design
in life all things rate
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the niche
for he knew through some design
in life all things switch
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the cage
for he knew through some design
in life all things age
The wino set a jug of wine gently by the lake
for he knew through some design
in life all things break
