Special Brews by `AbCat:iconAbCat:



I wandered lonely as a Tramp
Who floats on high from sniffing glue,
When all at once I saw a camp
A crate of golden Special Brew;
Beneath the trees there all alone,
Ten thousand cans my very own.

I danced beside the beers, but they
Outdid my dancing in beauty:-
A drunkard could not but be gay
In such triumphant company:
I drank - and drank - but little thought
What curse to me the beer had brought:

For oft when off my bench I fall
In vacant or in pensive mood.
I wonder how I drank them all
I wish that they could be renewed,
And then my soul cries winter blues
To crave yet hate those Special Brews.

When something's fair, it doesn't have to be realistic. Fair and realistic might be synonyms in the best of all possible words, but if so, this was not that world.

I smiled when I read this in your journal, I smiled again on the re-read. Gets a :+fav: from me :)

Oh, brill. A fave! Smashing. Thank you.

I still giggle when I re-read S3 L2. Perhaps I should've submitted this a few weeks ago.

I love the over-all effect and the general piss-takery of it :) And one of these days, I might actually have to try some Special Brew...

It's so sweet and sticky it actually makes my tongue stick to its palate. Eurrch! But it does do what it says on the tin. I tried one in my teens and it got me fairly drunk. (The drink of choice at night behind the cricket pavillion was Tennant's Super, which was similar strength but not so sweet. Classy.)
