Bacchus’s Villanelle
​
Discipline is fleeting away with the mead
When we sound-off about this and that
Will I continue or fail or succeed
​
Perhaps it is the booze or maybe the seed
Might be the company’s blithering chat
Discipline is fleeting away with the mead
​
What is it really, to be high-speed
The other choice like you right prat
Will I continue or fail or succeed
​
We certainly live by Bacchus’s creed
Set against as an acrobat
Discipline is fleeting away with the mead
​
Falling too far is something to heed
So when it is far too far, just say sat
Will I continue or fail or succeed
​
Sit up and stand as now you are freed
To return where you left and back to all that
Discipline is fleeting away with the mead
Will I continue or fail or succeed
