A Tale of Grieving Clydesdales
Posted: July 20, 2008
Why selling Budweiser to the Germans is worth crying about…
The Clydesdale team is pulling slow
as it comes into view.
Their heads are bowed recalling Auggie say
"This Bud's for you!"
A German meister holds their reigns.
He grunts "achtung!" to them.
Missouri's become misery.
They hear him grunt again.
The "Clydes" long for what used to be.
They dream of yesterday
when Bud was proudly brewed and owned
within the USA.
The year George Bush leaves Washington
Auggie Busch succumbs
to letting Europe add our beer
to its gin, schnapps and rum.
What's happening America?
We can't keep selling out.
What made us great must be restored.
We must reclaim our clout.
