- \vskip .5in
- Nothing so slakes a Texas thirst
- As a beer whose delectable bubbles burst
- On a palate, tongue, and esophagus
- Where the taste bud cluster's gregarious.
- \bigskip
-
- And nothing so pleases a Texas taste
- As a beer you can feel from throat to waist
- Caressing and soothing the gastro track
- With a taste and a texture ambrosiac.
- \bigskip
-
- That beer makes other beers feel cursed:
- When {\it they}\/ bubble best, the comparison's {\it worst}\/!
- What beer produces this luscious foam
- That trickles and tickles it long way home?
- \bigskip
-
- What brew transcends the delicious level
- To make a gourmet beer drinker revel?
- Why Heineken beer is the beer named first
- By the drinkers of beer who are most well versed.
- \bigskip
-
- Their sipping, with accolades interspersed,
- Is gripping because of their compliments tersed
- Through lips that are willingly, killingly pursed
- To receive the draught that is fittingly first.
- \bigskip
-
- Their eyes are graced, their lips are kissed
- By the reineken, feineken Heineken mist,
- And their noses feel they have been wet-nurs'd
- When the tiny, Heine-ken bubbles burst!
