Elderberry wine ~
- To drink the nectar of paradise,
- And find myself so transformed
- Beneath a starlit moonless sky;
- to mortal Life I said good-bye,
- Finding myself deformed.
- A robust ambrosia I did intake;
- Causing rapid ascension,
- leaving my body below depleted:
- Knowing somehow I have been cheated,
- The cause beyond my comprehension.
- The gods laugh with contempt,
- repulsed by proximity
- disgusted with my arrogance,
- baseborn trash besieged by elegance,
- We regret my use of elderberry wine with unanimity.
