Ade to Olcahol

Eloquence in a glass, sweet bubbles of amber hue.

Shyness’ cure, rambler’s bane.

Sing, dance, shout to brewer’s art.

Time together as chemicals sing

The affluence of inkohol

Slurred speech over profound things

Dreamers talk of solvent’s dreams

Off-key songs danced off-beat

Compromised balance and inexplicable heat

Yet smiles and cheer beer born of good beer

When times are hard, alcohol is here.
