“Jury Has Spoken Stout and

Nation Of Laws Lager were trotted

Out like “8 Ball,” as Ole English 800’s

Known in the ‘hood.”

 

No Justice, Nobel, No Beer!

by Raymond Nat Turner

 

Ice-cold kegs, frosty pitchers and steins

Are draining and flaming debate:

“Less filling,” “Tastes great,” and

Sudden spikes in suicides, homicides,

ER visits and DUIs, since two new

Brews, Jury Has Spoken Stout and

Nation Of Laws Lager were trotted

Out like “8 Ball,” as Ole English 800’s

Known in the ‘hood—double-barrel

Beers packing the punch of panther piss…

 

Their brew master, the master brewer

Is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack with his hops,

Fermented fruits and grains, making a

Killing at O’Reilly’s, Hannity’s, Harris-

Perry’s, Charlatan’s, Unca Jim’s, Unca

Ben’s and other red-neck and black

Bourgeois bars where he rolled out

Rose Garden Post Racial Pale Ale

For Skippygate Summits, celebrating

Backwards police power and the law of

Of rule, like just-us Roger B. Taney,

Telling how we get off—Dred Scott-free…

 

Discerning palates, beer connoisseurs,

Note hints of hemlock, a slightly bitter

Bavarian aftertaste of aging in a Berlin

Bunker, Brown Big Brother & The Holder

Co.’s new bottling, distribution by PDs and

Alphabet agencies… like Bush’s Brew, before…
