HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND
(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.
