Up five pfennig
Beer looked to start some ire
Since years before a one pfennig increase
Nearly started a riot in Bavaria

But cooler heads prevailed
Even if the suds were room temperature
And allowed the hoards of drinkers
To get their drink on

There were fried chickens and
Spools of sausages
Making sure the revelers
Got solid sustenance with the liquid diet

The best things?
No politicians inciting the crowd
No rowdies causing trouble
Just plenty of drafts at a five pfennig increase
