THE DOG WHO KNOWS

In Portobello by the sea
At Joppa stands the Ormelie.
A public house high on that list,
To chase away thon nagging thirst,
The salty spray that fills the air,
Dries the throat and guides you there;
To let the liquid moist the lips,
Bringing comfort, as down it slips.

Now in this bar, I’ve heard the tale,
of a picky mutt that knows his ale;
Bracken is the canine’s name,
Who knows about the brewing game.
He shall slurp and wag his happy tail
When one gives him Cask Conditioned Ale;
Please never give him meagre keg,
Or he’ll stare at you and cock a leg.

This loyal friend, this faithful pet,
May be elevated yet;
CAMRA could, with no real fear,
Promote him as a judge of beer.
So if one’s found down Joppa way,
And a thirsty throat is out to play,
Go slurp some ale, have a few,
With the dog who knows about his brew.
