Panic and Chaos English Style

Panic and Chaos English Style Chaos looming on English shores Panic sweeping through the land Wailing cries - pubs run out of beer Parliment for calm implores. 9-1-21 Contest: Your Best Four Line Light Verse No.2 Sponsor: L. Milton Hankins On September 1, 2021 the Washington Post ran an article about pubs running out of beer due to the supply chain crisis. For England this is truly a CRISIS! Pray for beer - I think!

Thank you my friend. Good point! What would all those people drink with pizza? Oktoberfests would be a flop! Apres ski just wouldn't be the same. Maybe the winemakers are behind this with a devious scheme - wink, wink! ;)". Blessings!

Hi Janice! Many thanks! I kept thinking about the slowly rising panic as the kegs started going dry! It seemed to me that the pub is as integral to English society as afternoon tea! Cheers! Blessings!

Many thanks Lasaad! The pub is such an integral part of English life I am sure a case of panic and anxiety set in when supplies started running low! Blessings!

Thank you so much Krish! Can't imagine our world without beer, ale, stout or mead which goes back to 15,000 BC! Such a simple beverage of humble origins. You are so right when you say it has kept the world economy going - celebrated in Oktoberfests around the world! Skoal from a non beer drinker!
