Yo ho ho, for our listeners dearest
We present an antibiotics tier list 
Ranking drugs from S to D
In a manner oh so Christmassy
So sit back relax and have a drink 
As we discourse in cladist think
And if you rank a different way
We'll forgive you this Christmas day. 

Proper episodes next year. See you in 2026!
