Make an A-Z list on a topic of your choosing. Stretch your creativity!  After you finish your list, write a short narrative describing why you chose the list you did and how it relates to you.A is for Ale, the finest of yeast B is for Beer, the best kind of feast C is for Craft, on tap at the bar D is for Drinking it out of a jar E is for Ethanol, organic compound F is for Firkin; let's all drink one down G is for Growler that you can take home H is for Hops, which are useless alone I is for Isinglass, for clarity's view J is for Juice, a citrusy brew K is for Keg, container of ale L is for Lager, most of them pale M is for Malt, the grain that's so dear N is for Ninkasi, goddess of beer O is for Oats, a flavorful grain P is for Prohibition, a real shame Q is for Quaff, what you do with a stein R is for Real Ale, a British design S is for Sour, a popular style T is for Tap, which I see with a smile U is for Unfiltered, filled with a haze V is for Volatiles, scents all ablaze W is for Wort, which starts the beer job X is for Xipe, the Aztec grain god Y is for Yeast, and all of its strains Z is for Zymurgy, the knowledge we gain ...well, did anyone really expect me to pick a subject other than beer? Still, I'm willing to bet everyone gets hung up on X and maybe Z. The trick is to start there and work backwards. Nevertheless, X is always tough unless you're willing to cheat and use something that starts with Ex. I considered it myself because of time limitations, but then I remembered Xipe (actually Xipe Totec) who was the Aztec god of, among other things, agriculture. Hey, that counts. And I had to use Zymurgy, of course. Beer is, of course, one of my favorite subjects. I probably could have gone with science, too, which is easier (especially because science isn't afraid to start words with X), but a guy's gotta have standards. Like forcing rhymes to make couplets work. I didn't have to do that. I hope at least some readers are amused. Probably, I should have bolded all the first letters of each line, but come on - I have video games to play. |
