In an unprecedented move, and at the urging of the struggling former US beer maker Anheuser Busch, the United State’s Government has declared war on Mexican beer brewers. NASA, in collaboration with NOAA, launched hurricane “BUD” this week with its intended target Mazatlan, home of brewer “Pacifico,” which is currently claiming market share from Budweiser. As of this writing, the guidance system has failed and landfall is projected to be closer to Puerto Vallarta. No brewers are threatened. InBev, the Belgian/Brazilian conglomerate that owns Anheuser Busch denies any knowledge of the hostile action.

Never mess with Texas

Never mess with BUD

Since Mexico never learns

We’re sending you a flood

To wipe out all your brewers

Who compete with our fine suds

We will go to any length

To limit consumer choice to BUDs

We know your beer is better

And it has a cheaper price

This is simple economics

And we’re not playing nice

Consider this our first attempt

To wipe out your beer cartel

We’re gonna’ nip it in the BUD

You’ll have no more beer to sell

Tell Montezuma to pound sand

His revenge he cannot plead

For the second time in 500 years

He’s been plucked by foreign greed

Perhaps their aim was off because they were too intoxicated! I'm partial to German beer myself, the bitter the better. do you like the soda lemon bitter? quinine in that stuff. Lemon bitters. I like stuff that's not so sweet. I'm so grateful when you keep me up on the news! Thank you thank you...

I've been a Bud man for a good many years, even wrote a poem about it a spell back, titled A BUDDY: The last verse finished up like this: “A REAL GOOD BUDDY” might not turn you into an alcoholic, but it won’t be from lack a tryin. - - - Why do ya think they call it BUD...weiser? So, you cain't convert me to some cheap ol Mexican brew without a fight, good Buddy. Dick
