| The Poetry of Beer |
| John Dryden Song of Ale ------- Just Caesar, whom the world obeyed, Augustus Great, proud Tiberine Could ne’er have drunk, sure ne’er have made Kind Bacchus! such an ardent brew. Tell Princes, Kings; tell France; tell Spain Of Hippocrene Nectarine Empurpled as Augustus’ train. Recalling this alone: All men are free to drown their sorrow – Not Caesar only – and to sell the morrow Cheap. But this once done – How costly seems the morning sun! -------------- |
| Jack Mallory Beer Philosophy It doesn't matter if the glass Is half full or half empty Either is fine It just means that there is More than enough room To add more beer ----------------- |

| D'Jean Thomas (taken from Sanjay Srivatsa)k The Beach Let us have wine and woman, mirth and laughter, Sermons and soda water the day after. Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication: Glory, the ale and good luck ------------- |
| Little Big Town Day Drinking Everybody's always waiting on Friday Watching that clock and sittin' on go Whatcha' say we find a little warm sunshine And open up an umbrella on the patio Don't need a reason or a happy hour Ain't hanging 'round for a fireworks show Get a head start a little sip of somethin' Off and runnin', here we go One, two, three here we go Don't wanna wait 'til the sun's sinking We could be feeling all right I know you know what I'm thinking Why don't we do a little day drinking? Why don't we do a little day drinking?. ------------ |
| 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. -------------- |
| William Aggeler The Soul of Beer The night the beer was singing in the bottles: "Mankind, dear waif, I send to you,in spite Of prisoning glass and rosy wax that throttles, A song that's full of brotherhood and light. I know what toil, and pain, and sweat you thole, Under the roasting sun on slopes of fire, To give me life and to beget my soul — So I will not be thankless to my sire, ------------------ Matin Mineo A Poem About Work Drink Coffee Bah, Blah, Blah Drive Home Beer |
