Some Things I Like

Once upon a time Late into a beer festival I saw a drink called Dark Stormy Sea of Amnesia (8%) When placed onto the table I watched as it swished and swirled Stormy waves settling within thick fog The tiniest of bubbles Nestling into spaces Inside and outside of the froth Travelling, no swaying Like you can only sway Walking back from a pub singing (Or on the water) Mesmerising Beyond mesmerising Hypnotic I never saw the drink again So I contacted Storm Brewery And they told me It didn't exist If that's true, it's a really great idea It should be invented I was there Should I go on? The pub was old fashioned With nooks and crannies to sit in I chose a prime position There's a photo of me from that night Or another Drinking something dark Looking like I do in my mind I love pubs with nooks Looking like I do in my mind And beer That doesn't exist

I like this poem DD. The mystery is intriguing. Reminds me of the hitch hiker that gets to the pub and tell them he just got a lift from a particular truck driver, and they tell him that the driver he described met his demise some years before. Your drink is that creepy and made a wonderful story. loved it.

It was such a great drink Wen! I'm not sure if the several drinks before it had anything at all to do with it but the hypnotic bit is 100% true:) Oh yes - I know that story!
