Geoff Stevens
Bud

Hank has a Budweiser sign in his living room.
It consists of a red outline
of a bow-tie
with BUDWEISER written
in bright white light.
Hank likes it
because it is one hundred percent
commercial
whereas his television set is only
about forty percent commercial.
Hank likes Budweiser.
He has a case by his chair
and next to his remote-control
which has a flat battery.
