Ramble Through a Birch Forest the path is straight and narrow not a rock in the way birches as far as the eye can see their trunks, like tall slender asparagus stalks, reach skyward their caps, leaves bunched at the top like celery I look at their white bark imagining sweet birch beer distilled or the sturdy canoes dug out of tough trunks I would like to stop and ponder these things but I must keep my date with you

Birch beer brings memories from childhood. Our parents, for a special celebration, would bring us to “Steak and Ale Restaurant.” Us kids drank birch beer, a step up or at least different than root beer.
