Vine and fig

2781

Come, sit under the shade,

Away from the sick.

The fruit is sweet, 

The wine is rich.

The Canaanite lay in the ditch. 

For those outside, 

Make the switch.

      That's what I love about poetry, we can condense big things into bite size pieces.
      Thank you for your gracious comment.

      Ohh, I can't eat figs. Too much Info (TMI) to tell ya why! lol.

        I wonder if the acid in the wine would neutralise that effect?

          Don\'t know, but I can\'t even have figgy biscuits - nor prunes much, and certainly no vindaloo. lol.
