Al Capone is responsible for best before dates
He hated the sour milk he had to drink as a child
So when he wanted to buy some goodwill
He donated a million dollars on milk for school kids
But insisted on the date being printed
Not wanting to leave a sour taste on young palates
He settled for whiskey sours for their parents
For tartness to march on
And so when you laugh at tired clichés
Like every cloud has a silver lining
Remember the old gangster
Who wanted to freshen up
And did
And does
Today

And still they put the guy in Alcatraz!
Should have paid his taxes…
