The Lake

In the beginning, there was nothing.
and then after a long period,
a lake appeared full of clean clear water,
the seed of grasses mixed and bubbled,
and the air became permeated
by the yeasty odor of fermentation,
then people came and found the lake
and they settled down and lived by the lake
and it was good,
then someone tasted of the lake
and it was good
and all drank,
and it was good,
then someone invented the guitar,
and that was good also
and the people learned to sing and dance,
and that was very good,
and they called the lake BeerLake.
and it was oh so good,
and life became a
Beer Festival.
