The knockdown commenced apace
A mountain of equipment cleared from the place
Taking down all the empty casks
A myriad of washing tasks
'til of the beerfest, there's no trace
The atmosphere & hubbub erased
Now just memories of beers
That were or weren't to your taste
Of the many a familiar face
Now time to relax
'til again you're faced, with doing it all again!
