On St. Vincent's Day

On the feast of St. Vincent

The morn dawned inclement

Freezing various budding fruits

Imbibers of vino shrieked Oh No, not our juice

What a prospect, guzzling vile plebian hooch!


Endnote: January 22 is the feast of St. Vincent, patron saint of both winemakers and drunkards. Inclement weather bodes a delayed crop.
