DRINK UP!

I can tell you
how to clear your palette,
but to what purpose
when you will not raise
the cup?

The only way
to taste the wine

is to

Drink —

Drink up!

Enough garden parties
with waiters generously tipped,
the wine highly praised
but hardly sipped.

My advice:
Join the call,
ringing down the darkened hall —

Drink, friend,

Drink up!
