HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND

entry picture

(I couldn't resist elaborating on the Guinness poster)

 

Hello darkness my old friend

I'll have a pint of you again

Arthur Guinness is my new hero

Now they've introduced Guinness Zero

It's a ringer in looks and taste for the Real McCoy

Like Danny Boy

It's the pride of Dublin.

 

It's the perfect Irish blend

I'm more than happy to commend

For taste and texture there is no doubt

They're undisputed kings of Irish stout

You can barely tell the two of them apart

Unless you're smart

They're the pride of Dublin.

 

You'll never make a better spend

On a pint you hope will never end

The pair of them are both as black as coal

Whether “full fat” or sans alcohol

Don't take my word – you should buy some for yourself

Off the shelf

And toast the pride of Dublin.

You’re right, of course, Stephen. On the other hand, I could see Guinness Super Strength getting an outing.

I love this one, John. I suppose with Guiness it's full or zero - 'Guinness Light' just wouldn't cut it.

A grand tune John. You made an Irishman very thirsty. Sláinte. 🍺
