You Wanna Piece of Me

What an ugly mug
Staring at me from the bar
Always provoking

and seven sauce smeared bottles

References: I tried to stay out of the Anheuser-Busch InBev discussions for as long as I could. But then I read this article: Streamlining IT Operations, Possibly at the Expense of Free Beer.

The Natural

Despite the twelve beers
And the rocking of the ship
His darts hit their mark

Written by Captain Hops

References: Back in the day, I used to work on a cruise ship. At the end of each day most of us would end up in the crew bar drinking… a lot. I was always amazed by the Brits on board that could drink like… well… sailors and throw darts with pinpoint accuracy regardless of how stable they or the seas were. Cheers!
