I Love Beer - In Justice Kavanaugh's Own Words

Yes, I love beer And beer loves me, We’re as thick as thieves As honey is to bees. I can’t help but wonder What life would be Without this golden amber, Not a world I’d like to see. Every sip a luscious joy, Food for body, mind and soul, It warms in winter, cools when hot, As water is to ice, as fire adores its coal. But now they claim it hampered, My judgement in my youth, A baseless common slander, Insulting and uncouth. A lifetime spent in service, As a bastion of the law, A judge regaled with honor, Not just a man of straw. So what I had a tipple And sometimes a few more, It livened up the party, With a drink I so adore. As to these accusations That somehow I blacked out I just can’t help but wonder, How folks could not this doubt. A father and a husband, A friend to countless girls, A man of faith and principle, Tarnished by innuendo’s swirls. So let this be a lesson To all young pups today, Consider each and every action, Beware of what posterity may say.
