Tune: Ach Got Und Herr
('Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands')
Luke 5 v.36-39
********
No one puts a piece of a new
Garment on old, does not sew
If they do, the new will make tear
More difficult to repair
And also piece that was taken
Out of new, not agrees then
With the old, and no one puts new
Wine in old skins, does not do
If they do, the new wine will burst
The old skins, not releive thrist
Wine shall be wasted, skins perish
And both be ruined, true this
But new wine must be put into
New skins, so shall be to you
That both wine and skins be preserved
Thes actions you have observed
No one having drunk old wine be
Quick to accept the new, see
For they say, The old is better
The new we postpone, defer

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. I'm a miracle worker, don't ya know? I can turn wine into water, cos I keep adding water to the wine! Wasn't that miracle the other way round? heehee.

this has considerable merit & talking of miracles .. it was writ by the relative of a ferret ..
Thanks M.
Mulled wine is in season... or does that still apply?
Thanks CB. Depends if it's old or new, I suppose. Or how old or new?
You got them wineskins?! They are called 'bottle's in some Bible versions.
Old wineskins and new wine don’t make good neighbours!
Are new wineskins and old wine any better?!
Beautiful.
Thanks T.
A great message that interestingly enough I had incorporated a piece of in my next poem without knowing that you had written this.
Thanks SB.
