Budweiser

Last week marked the 3rd anniversary of the sale of the number one selling beer in America to a foreign corporation. I thought it was a sad situation when it happened and put my comments down in a poem at the time. America’s lost a great Icon We sold Busch, our own “king of Beers” An American tradition been ended That lasted for one fifty years St. Louis is feeling love lost The senior Busch spins in his grave But the 52 billion they offered Caused the Busch family owners to cave Not sure how this will impact the beer taste Not sure that we’ll notice the change But Bud’s now a foreign domestic A non-sequitur title quite strange mdailey
