A Well-Balanced Beer

A Well Balanced Beer

A well-balanced beer may cost this gal dearly
It’s a cabaret act the tax guys said clearly
They caught her “act” in a bar late one night
And the way she poured beer they said was “all right!”
She would balance a glass, sometimes 3, sometimes 4
Right there on her frontage and then she would pour
They said it’s an act, she said it’s my job
It brings in the tips from the beer drinking slobs
They took her to court, they said she should pay
Over 44 thousand and she said “no way”
She knew the law, she had been there before
For indecent dress and a little bit more
When the judge threw the case it was greeted with cheers
For they too had enjoyed a couple of beers
