| --------------------------------------------- Francis Saltus 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. ------------------------ 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.” ------------- George Arnold HERE With my beer I sit, While golden moments flit: Alas! They pass Unheeded by: And, as they fly, I, Being dry, Sit, idly sipping here My beer. O, finer far Than fame, or riches, are The graceful smoke-wreaths of this free cigar! Why Should I Weep, wail, or sigh? What if luck has passed me by? What if my hopes are dead, — My pleasures fled? Have I not still My fill Of right good cheer, — Cigars and beer? ------------ William Butler Yeats A statesman is an easy man, he tells his lies by rote. A journalist invents his lies, and rams them down your throat. So stay at home and drink your beer and let the neighbors vote. ------------------------ Maria Corbett DOUGH... the stuff that buys me beer RAY..... the guy that sells me beer ME...... the one who drinks the beer FAR..... a long run to get beer SO......
