Okay Merlin,
I can't stand it any more. Seems like gravity and age have had an impact on the menu. Here are my two offerings which I hope will amuse.
The barmaid whom you’re talking about Seldom served up a pitcher of stout For that price was obscure And the barmaid demure Since the menu’s enhancement came out

One must be keen of eye to observe The menu of the choicest reserve Poured out neat or on ice For exorbitant price Only if you could read ‘round the curve
Sorry Daniel, I just had to get in on the fun.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
