A Haiku On The Passing of Ernest Gallo

March 6th, 2007 at 9:54 pm by Smantix

Under bridge tears spent
Wino’s lament for three bucks
Heaven’s antifreeze.

0 to 60 in .08

Shuffling off life’s brown paper bag. The good die young.

    In paying my last respects let me say that Mr. Gallo popularized the terms “Fine Modesto wine” and “Three bucks for a gallon jug? Sold!”

    This is a sad day indeed.

    Joseph was a younger brother, not affiliated with Ernest and Julio’s Modesto based wine company.

    Nitpickers notwithstanding, great haiku. Dripping with emotion. And homeless guy pee.

    “Heaven’s antifreeze” Pure Smantix. I love it.

    BTW, he lived to be almost 98. Seems like one heck of an endorsement for drinking vino.

    That little obit was saying that Joseph was the daddy.

    Thanks ya’ll. Feel free to contribute your own 5-7-5’s to the Baron of Boozehounds.

    Sorry, Sman. There is no way for me to top your elegant, brilliant prose.

    This is for my dead homey Ernie. Rest in Peace good brutha!

    In memorium, I have no Haiku to match that Smanticism. But let me offer this instead.
