Octet

[come_to_think]

Through the years, we've grown used
     to the truth-telling boor,
          so rejoice in the yeast
               and its white lies on  beer ---
in the bubble-borne boost
     to the bedlam where you're
          a contented old beast
               in a Happy New Year.

(1991)
