Tiger Tiger
Tiger! Tiger! clear and bright
perfection brewed exactly right,
this traveller’s dry and rusty throat
will always get this fine beer's vote.
In what distant vats or kegs
awaits the brew that my thirst begs.
On what wings could one aspire,
as taste buds bathe in Tiger’s fire.
Maturity of hops and malt
ferment with yeast within its vault,
infused to spawn this brew of fame
with all the power borne of its name.
Perfect flavour, perfect head,
now from each bottle gently bled,
to compliment all that we eat
and make each meal a tasty treat.
When jungle folk threw down their spears,
and water fell from heaven like tears,
Mankind rejoiced their work to see
as they brewed beer as good as thee.
Tiger! Tiger! clear and bright
is nectar of such godly height
that no immortal hand or eye
could better shape it symmetry.
