Terry Ireland Poet Rhyme

Underberg the Drinkers Friend

Brewed from a secret recipe
Nearly two hundred years old
Guarded by the family
Almost valuable as gold.
Using aromatic herbs from
Forty three different Nations
Gathered and despatched
From their various locations.

Distilled in Rheinberg 
Forty four percent ABV
Guaranteed pure and
Contamination free.
Bottled labelled wrapped
in distinctive brown twist
Placed prominently by the bar
Where it just can’t be missed.

This miraculous infusion, 
This  real drinkers friend, 
Has brought many a hangover
To a warm and pleasant  end.
Very soon after ingesting
The upset is gone
And so for the dedicated
The drinking carries on.

For services to humanity,
For keeping drinking folk alive,
For all their essential work
May FamilyUnderberg thrive.
I can’t understand why
Much to my surprise 
They have never ever been 
Granted a Nobel Peace Prize

Speaks Volumes December 14, 2022 at 10:11 PM Super poem Terry. A medicinal compound has been found, to pick any drunk up off the ground ! Looks like more blokes will be getting home safe and sound ... Terry Ireland December 15, 2022 at 12:23 AM No excuse now For hungover shirks, This is a cure That really works. My friend gave it To his morning after daughter, And within an Hour, She was out walking on water.

Terry Ireland December 14, 2022 at 1:23 PM Thanks ilene. Like many a young squaddie I’ve walked into the bar feeling like death, but half an hour and one Underburg later was a new man. ;-)
