Habit or addiction

sorenbarrett

A habit not a vice, salt as a spice
A glass of wine with a meal, brings out the flavor of the veal
Cup of coffee to open eye's squint or with an after dinner mint
A cigar with friends, a prayer as day ends

Over a vice one has no control, avoiding withdrawal is its goal
Then what of water or food, they're a vice one must conclude
No, a vice is not good for you, something you must eschew
But what if coffee and cigars friends impart, isn't wine good for the heart?

    so much controversy here. Wine coffee and cigars. Who can say for sure. Even the doctors can't agree on if alcohol is good for you or not. I guess the answer is "moderation". Too much of anything is probably bad.Certainly a thoughtful and well constructed poem.Had me smiling which I haven't done for years.

    A very enjoyable read and that list probably could of been endless, they both cover many things and will be different to each person, certainly makes you wonder
