"THE WINES OF ONCE UPON A TIME In the days when I was a boy, then / Those were the years of playing with wine! / Because they made piecework, at the Grottino, / Of drinking at seven and six pennies an hour. / And I will always remember Marino, / Where every year we went out / From October to vacation With the lady / And we stayed until St. Martin's Day. / There were no wines mixed / With sulfur donuts, and bad pennies, / And ammunition, and so many other sins... / I drank a quart, and said: come out: / and the wine came out: and you, good luck to you, a piss, / and sincere as fish."
