“Ode to Yeast” by the Yeasty Brothers
We are Yeast and we are vicious young beasts!
We have been around longer than you have,
And we know how too feast!
There are many of us on this planet here,
We are the secret ingredient in bread, and great beer!
Of our brothers and sisters there are many of us,
Here are some of our names, pretty impressive I trust!
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we make great ale,
Saccharomyces pastorianus, we brew lager quite well!
Our Yeast family and us, we're all pretty swell!
So the next time you decide to bake bread,
Or brew up a batch of your favorite IPA instead.
Remember the wise words that we have just spoken
It will put a smile on your face, and boost your hemoglobin!
So here’s to all of our long lost cousins,
We have at least, a few trillion dozen!
Thanks go to you, and to your crew,
For all the delicious goodness, you fellas do!
