I like the ballad 'John Barleycorn' a great deal. Written by the the finest Jewish poet of Scotland, the great Rabbi Burns, it can be appreciated by all, decipherable by all those who can understand the title and are remotely interested in the natural world, alcoholic beverages, or beautiful wordcraft.
