K. Sterling We'll drink from the bottomless bottle, indulge from the stoutest of kegs. We'll sip from the tallest of tankards. We'll drain from the brim to the dregs. Again, again, we'll drink 'til we no longer stand. 'Til then, 'til then, we'll drink with the bestest of friends. So, raise all your mugs to the heavens and drink to the health of all men. ------------------------ William Aytoun Ah, liberty! how like thou art To this large bottle lying here, Which yesterday from foreign mart, Came filled with potent English beer! A touch of steel—a hand—a gush— A pop that sounded far and near— A wild emotion—liquid rush— And I had drunk that English beer! ------------- Francis Sultus 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? ------------- 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.” ------------ C.A. Holland Do I blast the boss Or just leave and have a beer? Hey! Why not do both? ------------------------ Diane Coffey We drink beer! Beer! Beer! It comes from the heavens as angel tears Those singing drunks; those songs of cheers Nothing but, laughing is all we hear! So, quit your yapping and, drink some beer!
