Twas a night in November not too long ago
Pappy being delivered through sun, rain, and snow
With bated breath, the devoted fans waited
The smell of Pappy so close, they salivated
All over the country vendors hung their signs low
When the shoppers arrived, there was something off, though
Because what to their wondering eyes did appear
So shocking that they clutched their pearls near?
They rubbed their eyes and they shook their heads
But all they could see were capsules in red
There were whispers, and screams and cries of ‘it’s FAKE!’
An uproar so loud it kept Buffalo Trace bigwigs awake!
An announcement was read,
We’re terribly sorry, it’s said
This Pappy 15 Year is authentic!
The capsule color merely cosmetic!
It’s nothing more than a simple mistake!
Now please, give the elves on Line L a break!
And that bourbon boys and girls who have listened
Is the story of Pappy 15 Year – the Santa Edition!
