September: 1115 SHAPE 8 July 2024
It is impossible for me to escape
My congenital rotund shape
With which I was born
Oh it makes me forlorn
I wish I was not a grape
When they pluck me from my tree
And squeeze the hell out of me
My shape will become flat
I’ll be placed into a vat
Soon I’ll be a nice chablis
(To be enjoyed with a slice of brie)
As liquids take the shape of their container
I’ll soon be put through a strainer
To be shaped like a wine bottle
To be laid down horizontal
After a cork becomes my restrainer
Next into a refrigerator
By a well trained wine curator
The shape of a glass I’ll soon assume
Sip by sip I will be consumed
Just a few minutes later
(Perhaps at a passover seder)
