why does the boss call
when I’m trying to fulfil
my Session duties

At last the Tripel
Reaches my anxious lips… Damn!
Not the phone again

Finally at peace
I find that a Tripel is
Just the thing I need

References: This post is part of The Session. The Session is a monthly beer-themed group writing project for bloggers. This month’s theme is a Tripel for Two and it is hosted by Musings over a Pint.

This session really didn’t work out the way I had planned. Normally, I would be sharing a tripel with my wife but she is working late tonight. Since I couldn’t enjoy her company, I thought I would cut out of work early and enjoy the company of the tripel, trippel, and triple I brought home for the occasion. But then someone scheduled a late meeting, and then after that my boss called, and then he wouldn’t shut up, and finally just as I popped the first one a telemarketer called. The third haiku is pure fiction, because I was not even a few sips into the first sample and I learned that I needed to deal with another emergency.

Since you will not be getting any new reviews from me today, I hope you can enjoy some haiku of tripels past:

• Preparing for the Family
• Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel
• Green Peppercorn Tripel
• A Good Time Was Had By All
• Allagash Tripel

Cheers!
