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

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.

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. ;-)
