I would share <br />My days of happiness; <br />Everything is folly in this world <br />That does not give us pleasure. <br />Let us enjoy life, <br />For the pleasures of drinking are swift and fleeting <br />As a flower that lives and dies <br />And can be enjoyed no more when one has over imbibed <br />Let’s take our pleasure! <br />While its ardent, <br />Brilliant summons lures us on. <br />So my friends pick up your glasses <br />And sing again to Lord Dionysus’s song<br /><br />JAMES ROBERTS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reply-to-lynda-s-drinking-poem/
