PROHIBITION
*
Back in the olden day
When beer and ale waz band
The makin of beer
From red and black spruce twigs boiled in water
Ginger beer
Brewing malt
Corn
Beer was designated X, XX, or XXX
Accordin to its alcohol content
Fruits wine including strawberries cranberries blackberries elderberries gooseberries are currants
Some wines were made from numerous vegetables
Like carrots tomatoes onions beets celery squash corn silk dandelions and goldenrod
Flowers herbs even oak leaves
Cultivated grapes
Apple cider
Molasses and cane sugar
Rum was often enjoyed in mixed drinks
Just imagine makin your own beer be many splitin head ache huh

BACK IN THE DAYS OF OLE
*^*
Wet are dry
Is the question
Prohibition was on the rise
Against combinations
Of strong drinks that would make ones high
Beer was of no less the drink
But wine and whiskey
The more manly drink for most
Basement vaults
Under ground and back in the boondocks and bayou
Where people would so drink
And cut the rug
So to speak
Thats what dancin was so call way back then for more popular jenny bug are fox trot
Life for the average Americans
YesterYear once more
Drink and be merry
Are better yet for some drink till you drop
Havin the time of your life
Pratyin and
Havin a good ole time
Till the cop come
Prohibition time gonna run
