In the Midwest, 'neath the sky's high crest,
				
Lies a village full of humble nest,
				
So pricey 'tis to dwell there, we jest,
				
More like sipping wine than ale, at best.
				
		
Hark! Hilary's storm, a fearsome guest,
				
Bringeth wind and rain, a brutal test,
				
Whilst sun-bathed California takes a rest,
				
In God's brewing vat, a stormy fest.
				
		
Behold a man, on a noble quest,
				
With a perfect pen, he is obsessed,
				
'Tis mightier than sword, his jest,
				
Like divine mead in a scribe's behest.
