Prohibition & Remy's Decade of Success

Prohibition was a time
Roaring with men and their booze but with
Oppositions about drinking at the work place,
Henry Ford became a pro-prohibition,
Insisting that his
Business "cant be as productive with workers drinking".
Illegal bars called speakeasies started emerging
and people drank all night long in there !
These places served bootleggers, moonshine, and even bathtub gin !
In the day they were disguised as regular stores but came nighttime,
One by one they all transform into bars where men drink and gamble.
Nobody could ever enter one without a password. So if you want to enter one, better hope you have the right password !


Remy fell asleep at work one day, & dreamed he met an
Optimistic man in the past named Louis.
As they introduced, Louis spoke of his life dream,
Renovating a Cognac so good, he would sell everywhere and
Imagined himself a very wealthy man.
Now awake and inspired, Remy also wanted to try it too and
Giddy as he was, he ran home & fermented up some champagne.

Trial after trial,
Worn out Remy made one last mix, hoping it'll be good.
Everyone is his family enjoyed it, so he thought
"Now it's onto local bars".
They also liked it but paid little.
Immersed in his small success, he made more and
Eventually became a wealthy French wine maker.
Some of you might have heard of Remy, but only by name.

Do you know who I'm talking about ?
