sing_verse(Bottle) ->
    sing_verse(Bottle, []).

sing_verse(-1, Song) ->
    lists:reverse(Song);
sing_verse(Bottle, Song) ->
    receive
        {Bottle, Verse} ->
            sing_verse(Bottle-1, [lists:flatten(Verse)|Song])
        after 3000 ->
            io:format("Verse not received after 3 seconds"
