Edgar Lee Masters - Deacon Taylor
Work rating: Low

I belonged to the church,
And to the party of prohibition;
And the villagers thought I died of eating watermelon.
In truth I had cirrhosis of the liver,
For every noon for thirty years,
I slipped behind the prescription partition
In Trainor`s drug store
And poured a generous drink
From the bottle marked
"Spiritus frumenti."
