/// In her necklace, (the “A” for Anheuser-
Busch), The Hostess holds up a Budweiser
German-style lager bier,
though it’s now brewed right here
in the States. Back home Wilhelm is Kaiser.

/// This beer spokeswoman seems rather sweet.
A doll‘s face and proportions petite.
Take a closer look, though,
and some oddities show;
she has miniature hands and feet!

/// In the old fashioned manner she’s dressed,
though she does expose some of her chest.
She’s a tame and benign tease
in those days, the “Gay Nineties,”
(and “gay” doesn’t mean one who transgressed).

/// In St. Louis Budweiser was brewed.
It was popular when it debuted.
Bud fans all love this girl,
but invectives they’ll hurl
if they learn that she once was a dude.
