sacred steed mead/ i have everything which i need

whoo! i just had some of my latest brew..1 glass..and i'm smashed. im kinda broke and have no car so i tried to brew a beer with my mom's kitchen supplies? lol. only a genius like me can try to sythesize beer from household products. beer is made from barley...they boil it to extract the sugars then yeast takes over ..(in a nut shell)..but my my mom had barley tea? hmm? so the idea goes i get that barley flavor from the tea, and sugars else where...honey, brown sugar? then what about the bittering hops to balance flavor and help keep the beer...well before hops were used people used to used other bittering herbs...i.e sage, chamomile....you get the picture...and i re-used yeast from my last batch..afterall it's a living organism..ha, ha ..i feel like a mad scientist..also i was reading a book called sacred herbs and healing beers..for inspiration and reference...i wanted to call it Dr. Unk's Cure-All Ale....dr. unk..for drunk...but after tasting it ...i guess with very little barley tea and a bunch of honey ..it taste like mead? so i wanna call it now sacred steed mead...

ps i used other herbs as well and an apple, banana, and rasins, plus ginger root

i have everything which i need
a woman all dressed in beads
with a jug of her sacred mead
i have everything which i need

i have everything which i need
my valiant and trusty steed
with my knife that makes the spirits bleed
i have everything which i need

i have everything which i need
a peace pipe made of reed
with a pouch of wild weed
i have everything which i need

i have everything which i need
the sun hawk who takes the lead
and gives advice that i heed
i have everything which i need

i have everything which i need
a spirit that knows no greed
waiting for that sacrificial deed
i have everything which i need
