The Root Of Conviviality


Some seeking acceptability
Believe drink is the root of conviviality
So they sip and sip and sip some more
To find the comradeship they're looking for

As they stagger around with glass in hand
Feeling, for the moment, oh so grand
With drinking buddies swarming 'round
Those buddies who they've newly found

Tomorrow's come and they're back alone
Those new found buddies, now unknown
To imbibe for lasting friendship, is just plain bunk
You don't find lasting friendships when you're just plain drunk

I enjoy to drink from the cup of good cheer ,
But I prefer to be sober ,
Say and do anything in sobriety ,
To meet perfection in strangers ,
Who become friends in perfection ,
Tho we may never meet again ,
True friends , when we met , and when
We parted ,

Cheers , Stan & Don , well written and exprest as always
