    Smile The Dog Who knows

    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.
