| --------------------------------------------- Wallace Rice There is a rule to drink, I think, A rule of three That you ‘ll agree With me Cannot be beat And tends our lives to sweeten: Drink beer ere you eat, And while you eat, And after you have eaten! -------------------------- Thomas Hood It’s wery well to talk in praise Of Tea And Water-drinking ways, in proper time and place; Of Sober draughts, so clear and cool, Dipp’d out of transparent pool Reflecting heave’s face. When Winter comes with piercing cold, And all the rivers, new or old, Is frozen far and wide; And limpid springs is solid stuff, And crystal pools is hard enough To skate upon and slide; – What then are thirsty men to do, But drink of ale, and porter too, Champagne as makes a fizz; Port, sherry, or the Rhenish sort, And p’rhaps a drop of summut short– The water-pipes is friz! ------------------------------ Eugene Field Come, brothers, share the fellowship We celebrate to-night; There ’s grace of song on every lip And every heart is light! But first, before our mentor chimes The hour of jubilee, Let’s drink a health to good old times, And good times yet to be! Clink, clink, clink! Merrily let us drink! There ’s store of wealth And more of health In every glass, we think. Clink, clink, clink! To fellowship we drink! And from the bowl No genial soul In such an hour can shrink. ------------------------ Henry Aldrich If all be true that I do think, There are five reasons we should drink; Good brew — a friend — or being dry — Or lest we should be by and by — Or any other reason why. ------------- Eva Rachaell The beer squirted east and west. It squirted north and south. Upon my shirt, my pants, my hair, but nothing in my mouth. I'm sure that soon they'll fix it but, until then, let me think... just whom can I convince that they should come and have a drink? Special thanks all for sending in the poems! Be a Beer Muse.
