To end our can story on a light hearted note, here is poem:
Just a little Can
by Dan Nichols
I searched high
I searched low
I went to stores
I went to stations
I cursed the trials and tribulations
I was thirsty, it wasn’t fair
In fact I was close to despair
When across the Lee and Dads aisle
I spotted it with a smile
Those tall cans of Scottish brew
A Cold Smoke®, I wanted a few
reached out and was taken aback,
Only four, where’s the six pack!
I shook my head but then I knew,
That crafty Irishman, Tim O’Leary
Had saved himself a few.
