Ode to Beer Yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Here's to the Yeasties
Those magical beasties
Love 'em we do, one and all
For they eat up the sugars
then fart C O 2
and piss out me alcohol.
It may sound disgusting
to those not enlightened
but I hold their functions quiet dear
for without little yeasties
to live in me wort
I wouldn't be drinking this beer.
