  1. As they tally and gawk at the stats,
    the fans in Milwaukee say “drats!”
    Their season finis,
    they won’t drink chablis —
    these manly men always have Blatz

  2. BREW-CREW, TAKE TWO:

    As they tally and gawk at the stats,
    the fans in Milwaukee say “drats!”
    Their season finis,
    with their cheese no chablis –
    a man’s man will always choose Blatz

  3. Flip the couplets . . . and drop the commas – none needed.

    More demonstrative:

    Prince may be gone
    But our buzz still on

    It’s been a good year
    And we still have beer
    .

  4. I’m taking a class too … “Bardball Comment Studies 101.”

    Learning lots.

    Glad I didn’t weigh in this morning when I first read it. My thought then (and still): Good one Stu! Simple, clean, concise. Me like!

    Also like Hillary’s second take! Perfecto. (I think I may have served the last can of Blatz in Central Illinois, in about 1992. The contents were brewed sometime in the ’70s, judging by the level of skunkiness. The retired bus driver who ordered it complained not a whit. No beer snob he!)

  5. “Blatz” is one of those names that would never pass inspection today for a brand. Too aggressive, too ethnic, too … onomatopoeic. Gross.

    We have an old lard can around here somewhere. Brand name: Flechtner’s.
