Ode to My Beer
Oct 21st, 2008 by Di

Packs in nicely
Packs out lightly
Lovely brown hue
Can’t have just a few
Delicious, full flavor
Quite in my favor
Oh, my brew
I love you.
With hops and yeast
Oh, what a feast
Porter, Pilsener
Lager, Weissbier
So many types
All worth the hype
Oh, my brew
I love you.
It can rain or blow
Shine sun or snow
I will still race
At a good pace
Cuz there you are
Right in my car
Oh, my brew
I love you.

Di - I’m loving the Ode to Beer even though I’m not the enormous beer fan myself.
The cross pics are great too… way to push yourself to the limit… puking? Get out the wax… looks like snow is only a week away!
Noooo! NOOO SNOW! I’m not ready. My goal is to mountain bike on Christmas Day. That is my gift to myself. I guess I could ski, but I am really hanging onto the biking thing, this year.
Oddly enough, I wasn’t drinking when I wrote the Ode to Beer, although I was laughing. I really did put forth the effort to get a consistent meter and rhyme. Reading it aloud cracks me up - especially at the end. Maybe I could quit my not-so-day job?
BTW, that’s New Belgium’s Fat Tire in the top picture, and South Shore’s Nut Brown Ale in the bottom in the IMBA Trail Crew Cozy.
