A RULE OF THREE by WALLACE RICE

First Line: THERE IS A RULE TO DRINK
Last Line: AND AFTER YOU HAVE EATEN.
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;
There is a rule to drink,
I think—
A Rule of Three
That you'll agree
With me
Cannot be beat
And tends our lives to sweeten:
Drink ere you eat,
And while you eat,
And after you have eaten.
