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.

For many centuries beer has kept the world economy going!! sad but true!!:) Sam Kauffman September 24, 2021 at 10:17 AM 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!
