| The Poetry of Beer |
| Martin Brunnschweiler Buy Bushy's Beer The Bushy’s crew brewed lots of beer But TT is cancelled this year Please give Martin a ring Four great beers he will bring To doorsteps to give you good cheer Two pints cost you only four quid So do as my husband just did Call four nine four three nine three Delivery has no fee ... They’re only too pleased to get rid! |
| J. Attacap (apologies to Pablo Neruda) Wonder of Beer ---------- Day-colored beer, night-colored beer, beer with orange hues or beer with hops that ooze, beer, starry child of earth, beer, smooth as a golden sword, soft as lascivious velvet, beer, spiral-seashelled and full of wonder, never has one goblet contained you, one song, one man, you are choral, gregarious, at the least, you must be shared. |
| Fear Band More Beer ------- More beer, more beer All I want is more beer, more beer When I get home from work and I'm dyin' of thirst All I want is more beer I run into the kitchen and I tear off my shirt All I want is more beer Open up a six pack I'll be downin' it first All I want is more beer I can open up and finish faster than you All I want is more beer Gonna kill a case or maybe two All I want is more beer If there was no more beer then what would we do All I want is more beer |
| William Stevens To Drink ------------- There are people, I know, to be found, Who say, and apparently think, That sorrow and care may be drowned By a timely consumption of drink. Does not man, these enthusiasts ask, Most nearly remove all fear, When engaged in the soul-stirring task Of filling his body with beer? |
| Francis Saltus Saltus Beer What merry fairy, oh cool, delicious beer, Gave thee the power through centuries to maintain A charm that soothes dull care, and laughs at pain; A power sad hearts to vitalize and cheer? No blasé palate of thy drops can fear; Once quaffed, lips eager, seek thy sweets again, Without thee students sing no loud refrain; Laughter and mirth depart, be thou not near. And when I drink thee to my soul’s delight, A vision of King Gambrinus, fat and gay, Haunts me, and I behold bright tankards shine, And hear him laugh with many a thirsty wight, And merry maiden, drinking night and day, In quaint, old, gabled towns along the Rhine. |

| Hilarie Bellock The Pelagian Drinking Song And thank the Lord For the temporal sword And howling heretics too. And all good things Our Christendom brings But especially barley brew! With my row-ti-tow Ti-oodly-ow Especially barley brew! ------------- |
| B.J.Lynch It's Beer Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew. My love grows for my foamy friend, With each thirst-quenching elbow bend. Beer’s so frothy, smooth and cold– It’s paradise–pure liquid gold. |
