The Kings Whim Poem by Michael Hall

The Kings Whim



Alchemist,
Alchemist,
Create me a Lotion.
a Truly intoxicating love making Potion.
 
Ferment it, Invent it, Forge me a Beer
Smelt her with Guile, Craft her with Flair
Add Yeast, malted barley, dry hop I wish
Throw in the Bladder of a Sturgeon fish.
 
Tongue Teasingly Tasty, Bold and Brash
Heady and Frothy, Foamy Moustache
Clear and Mild, Floral, Rambunctious
Delicately balanced, Moreish and Scrumptious
 
Cask it in Barrel, Hogs head ‘n' Firkin,
Grant it a body, a life that keeps working
'Best' before' Bitter'; A Badge of Good Ale
Roll it and rack it and whack it on Sale.
