THE BEAR IN THE TRUTH

There is truth in beer,

So said a peer;

A statement so modest –

It forgot to be honest.

The truth from the beer,

I wish not to hear;

A gift so fleeting –

It leaves my teeth gritting.

The truth is the beer,

Is but a hidden gear;

A ploy with a link –

Under the guise of a drink.

The truth and the beer,

I find so very near;

I must see through the froth –

To the bear in the truth.
