Example

A nappy ale is my delight
Though others may prefer red wine
You have your choice, I will have mine

There is no reason we should fight
Why should we differ friend of mine
A nappy ale is my delight

I drink it morning noon and night
I do not like the taste of wine
Although wine seems to suit you fine
A nappy ale is my delight.
