For a portion of our Christmas celebration, we chose to exchange names and not only give a gift to the name we drew, but also some sort of creative expression.  I was lucky enough to draw my brother-in-law’s name and here is the song I “wrote,” played on guitar, and sang for Todd.  Please note that there was a considerable amount of inspiration from Enrique Iglesias, and a few borrowed lines from here and there, and some help from Karissa.  Todd has recently taken a journey into the world of home brew, hence the subject matter of the song.  As you read, feel free to hum “Hero” by Enrique Iglesias to really capture this creative expression in all it’s glory.

“Brew”

Dedicated to Todd Jorgenson

12/25/08

Would you share, if I asked you to share?

Would you pour, if I wanted some more?

Is it a pale, or maybe an amber?

Would you brew for me tonight?

Would you mind, if I filled my own glass?

Will you brew, a stout with some kick?

Can you make wine, or even a lager?

Would you brew for me tonight?

I can drink your beer oh baby

I can sip away the ale

I will use your tap forever

It’s my home, away from home

Would you swear, I’m always invited?

Can I brew, the next brew with you?

Can I have tap rights?

Have I had too much?

Don’t you dare say last call tonight.

I can drink your beer oh baby

I can sip away the ale

I will use your tap forever

It’s my home, away from home

It’s my home, away from home

It’s my home, away from home…
