In Favor of the Draft

I'm in favor of the draft
But I don’t mean recruits.
What I mean is beer on tap,
Deserving of salutes.

Bottled beer can be just fine,
Especially from small batches;
But a crisp new brew on draft –
Well, nothing really matches.

It’s frothy, foamy, flavorful;
It’s fragrant, fervent, fresh.
It’s filled with flash and fancy,
Leaving goosebumps on the flesh.

How well it marries with a meal,
But it stands fine alone.
An ice-cold draft beer is among
The best tastes I have known.

I protested against the draft
When it referred to war;
But I’m in favor of
The kind of draft that you can pour!
