The Devil's Back Bar

Every bottle on the shelf tells a story
about some young fool's fall from glory.
Stop and listen for a moment if you can
for in the bottom of the bottle lies the man.

Some think the world has much more class
when seen through an empty wine glass.
They claim their wit is so much quicker;
which they attribute to the vintage...not the liquor.

Every bottle on the shelf tells a story
about some hapless man or woman's fall from glory.
Stop and listen for moment if you will.
Have a drink. Have another. Have your fill.

Devil's Bar

Curtis J. Forsythe

Very clever rhyming, well done.
