A Poem & Mr Solly

Molskine Pages
The first page reads:

Drink wine
this is life eternal
all this youth will give to you
'tis the time for wine, roses and drunken friends.
Be happy for this moment,
for this moment is your life.

I can't recall where it comes from or where I saw/read it.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

This next little ditty is my own.....I'm not sure I want to own up to that!

The poem reads:

My neighbour Mr Solly
had a lovely rubber dolly
he kept her in his garden shed.
She was soft and slightly shiny
her eyes were dark and tiny
and she slept on a little cot bed.
~~~
He was found one sunny morning
detected by his snoring
cuddled up on his little cot bed,
by an angry Mrs Solly
so disgusted by the rubber dolly
that she shot my poor neighbour dead.
