 ====

Part one:

Inside the fridge:
Except fig juice,
Bottle of olive is saved.
In under row:
Some (Meze) *
With glass of whiskey is put.
You drink,
I sit with you.
Cheers your glass
I eat olive.
You are drunk
I pray my own.
Look dear,
Like this Mullah i don't refuse you!
When a person sits with a drinker.
It doesn't mean he drinks as well.
I love prove it:
See God swearing by olive.

*Meze: selection of small dishes served with alcohol.
