Quatrain of Stout Beer Taste

Stout Beer - beer that is stout

1.
O, harvest thy hops and mesh
them abundantly
well,

Find favor in constructing hard
brew to carve and
impel.

Lavish thy taste buds with the
yoke of trundled
clusters,

Stir until thy virile spirits are
rising like rocket
thrusters.

2.
Shake off thy embitterment
that may come from wanton
sin,

Let fermentation wrestle the
darkness you find yourself
in,

Down another guzzle and feel
your toes twisting in the
ground,

'Tis of salvation and stout beer
that makes the earth feel
round.
