Bitterness

I'll play thief

To the home

Of a rich man

And steal

Malt for my

Bitterness and ale

For the happiness

That was kept

In the mug

Of paupers.

These ingredients

Are a lot cheaper

On sidewalks

But mansions store

The most flavorful:

Bitterness

From the source

That stings

On the plate

Of paupers.
