THE CZAR PETER, SELECTION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Noah built a mighty ship
Last Line: Or he'd ne'er have ventured out.
Alternate Author Name(s): O'keefe, John
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Wine


Noah built a mighty ship,
Happy he o'er mountains sail'd,
Till he drank out all his flip.
Then his noble courage fail'd;
Bade the dove go fetch a sign
That water then no more did spout:
Took the olive for a vine,
Or he'd ne'er have ventured out.
