Your oddlines do tell their own story, ending with a cheeky question to the vicar. A good message in your notes JLR about drinking and not driving. Well done in this Raccontino challenge. Cheers

It's never a good idea to have too much to drink. I love a glass of wine or two with my meal, I live in Spain after all. But I know when to stop. Having said that, I think most of us have been in the situation you're so vividly describing here. Lol. Merry Christmas. Ulla:)))

This poem is deceptively complicated! Once I breathed a sigh of relief knowing you didn't create the concrete "wine glass" post AND this Raccontino I...

Nope, I was still in awe!

It's two-two! Two poems in one!!!

Great job!!!

(Also appreciated your warning to not over indulge in the alcoholic form of Christmas Spirits!)

I agree that there is danger and a measure of irresponsibility in drinking too much. We all would like to enjoy the company of family and friends- but wisely and with self control. Thank you for the reminder.

You did a great job with your club poem and
its valuable message, JLR. I enjoyed reading it.
I liked the way you formatted the lines. I read the
lines in bold type-great and true story. The other
lines fit well with those, too. The image was perfect.
When read a complete poem, all the lines flowed
smoothly, told a great story, and offered the message
in the notes based on the words in your poem which
were well-chosen.
Thanks for participating, Jan

This is my first encounter with the Raccontino form. It looks to be quite a challenge, and you have done a really good job with it. Good luck in the contest and have a merry Christmas.

There are spirits that make you sick, and then there are those you find in church. Your poem of seasonal parties and over-indulgence is a good one - I enjoyed it. Asking the Vicar about his liquor supply was a great twist.

I love the image you used - the cocktail glass with the wording down the middle making up the stem.

Well done all the way around. Happy holidays!
