| --------------------------------------------- Wesley Burns To my friend Dan Hodge, Lord of Lager Prince of Pilsner Baron of Brew Sultan of Suds We neophytes bow humbly in your presence! Homebrew or store bought, domestic or foreign this man has knowledge of anything pourin’. He’s traveled this country as well as afar to sample the tastings of many a bar. On the subject of suds, he is very prolific. His research is well done and very specific. He has a passion that he’s held quite dear. So in my estimation he’s the KING of BEER! -------------------------- ------------------------------ Robert Graves What do you think The bravest drink Under the sky?” “Strong beer,” said I. There’s a place for everything, Everything, anything, There’s a place for everything Where it ought to be: For a chicken, the hen’s wing; For poison, the bee’s sting; For almond-blossom, Spring; A beerhouse for me.” Tell us, now, how and when We may find the bravest men?” “A sure test, an easy test: Those that drink beer are the best, Brown beer strongly brewed, English drink and English food.” ------------------------ William Butler Yeats Beer comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh. ----------------------- Harrry Crowne The horse and cow live thirty years, And nothing know of wines and beers, The goat and sheep at twenty die, And never taste of Scotch or Rye, The modest, sober bone dry hen, Lays eggs for years then dies at ten. All animals are strictly dry; They sinless live and quickly die. But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men Survive for three score years and ten; And some of us, the mighty few, Stay pickled till we're ninety-two. Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
