I don't recall anything they said about eating food you have been
served that contains alcohol but the Soghomonian Remeyites cite some
pilgrim's note I've never seen to justify their continuing to drink
alcohol. Soghomonian even serves wine to those who visit him on
pilgrimage. When I heard about this, I couldn't resist wriitng some
new words to an old drinking ditty:
Oh, I'm on the drinking man's diet
It came from the Fourth Guardian's throne
It's really terrific and and quite scientific
And I'm half-stoned
Drink, drink, everyone drink
It's not as bad as Haifa leads us to think
With every Manhatten your stomach will flatten
So drink, drink, drink.
Drink, drink, booze everywhere
Pass that decanter of burbon there
If pounds you would burn off, the sans-guardians turn off
And drink, drink, drink
(apologies to Alan Sherman)
warmest, Susan
