The world is a tavern <br /> The door is open wide - <br /> All are invited <br /> To enter inside. <br /> <br /> We pay with a handshake <br /> For wine and the beers <br /> To bury away <br /> Our worries and tears. <br /> <br /> We dance to the rhythm <br /> Of human hearts' beat - <br /> The world is a tavern <br /> Where all people meet. <br /> <br /> The women's soft bodies <br /> Ripe as a peach <br /> The secrets of love <br /> Are willing to teach. <br /> <br /> Life is a tavern - <br /> Before it closes down <br /> Dance to the music <br /> While you are in town.....<br /><br />Hana Gerzanic-Hons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-152/
