Gentlemen, Tonight I Shall Drink Beer

 
Gentlemen, tonight I shall
drink beer.
For it is Friday night
and the work week is done.
Tonight I shall drink
a brew fit for a man.
Let the women complain
about my misogony
over pretty drinks
that remind them they
are beautiful still.
What I need
are malt and barley
and toasted hops!
Not Warsteiner,
though the Germans
are masters of their craft.
Nor shall I drink Molson,
an adequate
Canadian pilsner.
Even a Belgian won't do, tonight,
though there's is
the best in the world.
Brewed by Monks
for God.
(The Japanese don't make beer,
despite what they'll tell you.)
Tonight I want a simple brew
made for the masses.
A brew of hops
and toasted cherries!
From boston with love and I
am in love with my foam
tonight.
Save the wine for tomorrow,
save the hard liquor.
Tonight I'm seeking warmth
not over kill.
Gentlemen,
tonight
I
shall
drink
beer.
