Changing Water Into Wine by Don Taco


Changing Water Into Wine

by Don Taco



I've been changing water into wine

whether I want to or not

it's getting hard

to water the yard

or fill up the coffee pot

I've been hoping somewhere down the line

things get back to normal for me

I need relief

from brushing my teeth

with chianti or a fine chablis


I've been changing water into wine

just as if a button got stuck

my indiscretion caused

this ancient expression

to change into wine off a duck

I've been hoping somewhere down the line

things get back to normal for me

my investigation into

transubstantiation

has left me with a case of pinot gris


I've been changing water into wine

I'm not sure just why it began

it's hard to explain

why I had to drain

the whole cooling system of my van

I've been hoping somewhere down the line

things get back to normal for me

no one seems to care

that the sommelier

wishes he was just the maitre'd


I've been changing water into wine

before it can even reach my gums

I'm getting tired

of being admired

by all of the bowery bums

I've been hoping somewhere down the line

things get back to normal for me

wine is the worst

for quenching your thirst

regardless, have some wine, it's yours, it's free
