The Family Recipe
When I was young, there was a time
that we took sips of dandelion wine.
My grandpa made it taste mighty fine.
but to drink it was a major crime.
It was something we didn’t need to begin,
and to drink it he said, was close to a sin.
We found it hidden in a storage bin,
and the price we paid was a whippin’.
I don’t drink much dandelion wine anymore.
Other kinds of wines have been explored.
I won’t forget the day we opened the door
of the bin and then got drunk on the floor .
When I was young, there was a time
that we took sips of dandelion wine.
My grandpa made it taste mighty fine,
and now his secret family recipe is mine.
