A Song of Ice and Beer

This is for the real ones.

A series of limericks about a man, whose journey begins with a simple yet timeless pursuit: a nice cold beer. With each step, his search unfolds, revealing not just the drink, but the small moments and characters encountered along the way. It’s a story of cravings, choices, and the unspoken connections that arise in the most ordinary of places.

There once was a man full of cheer,
Who craved a cold, frosty beer.
He popped off the top,
Took one mighty drop,
And grinned as the world felt sincere.

He emptied his glass with a cheer,
Then sighed, “I could use one more beer!”
He strolled to the bar,
Didn’t walk very far,
And grinned as the next one drew near.

He thought, “Let’s go classy, not mean,”
So he ordered a dirty martine.
With olives just right,
And gin cold as night,
He sipped, feeling sharp and serene.

He sipped, but it wasn’t quite clear,
“This drink’s just a little too sheer.”
With a nod and a cheer,
He went back to his beer,
And sighed, “Now this is my gear!”

He laughed as he finished his brew,
Said, “Martinis just won’t ever do.”
With a grin on his face,
And a slow, steady pace,
He called it a night and withdrew.
