The Wine Door
Here you go, now! Here it is!
Just hush and grasp it fast.
A peeking glance, a wink and nod
before the next is past.
I only see a portion
though trust I hold to true,
I promise you will savour this
and mark now what I do.
Divine nectar I bestow
if willing you partake,
a simple deal between us friends
is never a mistake.
Don’t forget to come again,
and celebrate with me.
Our toasting will be richly blessed
though wine door tiny be.
