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
