The Devil’s Drink
Originally called Arab Wine
some priests opposed the delicious beverage
urging its prohibition.
The amount of poets who have been dragged down
and destroyed by the devil’s drink
is also rather astounding,
but far less important.
Pope Vincent III heard this
and decided to taste it before he banished it.
He really enjoyed it.
It paves the way to criminality, profligacy, and debauchery.
Now homicidal maniacs are lapping it up.
