| The Poetry of Beer |
| Charles Bouldain The Soul of Beer ------- One night, from bottles, sang the soul of beer: '0 misfit man, I send you for your good Out of the glass and cap where I'm confined, A melody of light and brotherhood! I know you must, out on the blazing hill, Hops and barley sweating beneath the piercing rays To grow my life in me, my soul and will; I'm grateful to you,as I drink today -------------- |

| Emily Richardson Beer Never Brewed I taste a beer never brewed – From Tankards scooped in Pearl – Not all the Frankfort Hops Yield such an Alcohol! Inebriate of air – am I – And Debauchee of Dew – Reeling – thro’ endless summer days – From inns of molten Blue – ------------- |
| Bob Castro Beer, Beer, Beer There once was a man of 60 Who who had always been rather thrifty Now with pennies to spare and not a boss to fear he's happily retired and drinking beer ----------------- Jack Houseman Haiku Time it’s too hot for golf today, but it’s not too hot to drink a few beers ------ An treasure beer Sparkling in my goblet Makes me feel god-like |
| Charles Stuart Calverley Beer ‘That abstinence from Malt Has always struck me as extremely curious. The Greek mind must have had some vital fault, That they should stick to liquors so injurious – (Wine, water, tempered p’raps with Attic salt) – And not at once invent that mild, luxurious, And artful beverage, Beer. How the digestion Got on without it, is a startling question. Or to drink it at tiffin, when thirsty and warm, We say to the khidmutgar*, “bring me some beer,” Soon, soon do we feel its most magical charm, And quickly the eatables all disappear. But what is coffee, but a noxious berry, Born to keep used-up Londoners awake? What is Falernian, what is Port or Sherry, But vile concoctions to make dull heads ache? Nay stout itself – (though good with oysters, very) – Is not a thing your reading man should take. He that would shine, and petrify his tutor, Should drink draught Allsop in its “native pewter.” -------------- |
| Lynn Zalez One At A Time Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor then beer, have no fear. Beer before gin, sick in the bin. Beer from a bottle, piss at full throttle. Ale before sleeping, morning of weeping. Three pints of Guinness, get down to bin'ess. ------------------ Brian O'Connor More Beer It doesn't matter if the glass Is half full or half empty Either has no peer It just means that there is More than enough room To add more beer ----- If I Was a Duck If beer was water and I was a duck I'd swim to the bottom and never come up But beer is not water and I'm not a duck so pass me a bottle and let's toast to good luck |
