There was a young vintner named Moe,...

and were we drinking this at the time of the "poetry"?

at least it'a funny.

how about this....a little more positive :-)

There once was a group that made wine, But theirs always tasted better than mine. So I just asked a feller, whose name was Jack Keller and now it's turning out "oh so fine"...

Thanks to the group for their continuing dedication to winemaking! appreciate it all!

OK, here goes for the groaners.

My dear lady tends to be the poet, so I told here about the limerick here. When I do something, it is all out. Some call me possessed, I say "focused". Nonetheless, I have taken winemaking as a new hobby, I love this forum, Jack's website, and I am reading Lum's book too. This being said, winemaking, fruit harvesting, equipment, etc. tend to be overtaking my house and time.

Here come some limericks from the better half. (feel the chagrin!) Her name is Debbie if someone wants a shot....

Grape season is upon us Fermentation is a MUST Oh god what a smell I'm living in yeast hell But soon I'll drink till I Bust!

Once again its that time of year Fruit trees are bearing far and near Buckets of melon and more Scattered all over the floor And I'm wishing that winter were here

There once was a man named Chuck Who was tired of drinking Cold Duck So to make he did try Some red, blush, and dry In case he was down on his luck! (my brother and I call each other Chuck, long story don't ask)

He wanted to try something new To make his own brand of Brew The nature of the beast Fermenting on yeast And Patience known only to Few!

There once was a man named Greg Who wanted his wine by the Keg Now at home he does cry For all the things he did buy That cost him an arm and a leg!

A man with eyes most blurred, Was asked to recite - The Word, He arose up from the gutter, Then puked and did sputter, "It can only be - Thunderbird ! "

This is a re-post. New ones please.

There once was a guy named Murray who found out in quite a short hurry that his limericks really suck especially at the end.

Nice one murray. I know this wasn't really the place for them, but my girl loves to write and loves a laugh.

Soon with the help of all of the regulars, I'll be moving onto lots more racking and bottling this winter!

They aren't limericks, but they are poems. Since they were posted once, I won't post them again. Instead, six short poems about wine by yours truly, at
