| --------------------------------------------- Gwendolyn Rose Ojeda A top ‘o the morning To the Irish mead To the bartender more tips For this pleasant mead was Sweeter than a fair maiden's lips Over to the brisk taste of an amber The refreshment of a smooth pale I was hanging on the edge Waiting for my cask-conditioned ale ------------------------ Brian Hutton Golden, amber, pale or porter, doesn't matter, just bring me a beer clear as the Northern night, fresh as the company I keep. And maybe just one more before I sleep. ------------- Marcus Kevin Fishly There once was a man who did not have a fear when he sat down and drank a six pack of beer his belly did bloat, his weight it did rise but the beer gave the feeling of being so wise The thought of it cooling, so frosted and near in the mug it sits so golden that beer the taste is so good never bitter or queer bringing always a laugh and never a tear Many a time in that room full of cheer a wrong emotion did come from that beer it was never right to hold it so dear replacing importance with just another cold 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. ------------------------ Oliver Holmes Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning; Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius better discerning.

| --------------------------------------------- Nathan Mcshilon Nothing better than flagons of beer every summer, winter, spring and fall and now with a wink I just drink, drink, and drink cause beer is the best beverage of all. ------------------------ 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 ere you eat, And while you eat, And after you have eaten! ------------- G.K. Chesterton Feast on beer or fast on water, And your honour shall stand sure; God Almighty’s son and daughter, He the valiant, she the pure. If an angel out of heaven Brings you other things to drink, Thank him for his kind intentions, Go and pour them down the sink. ------------ Eugene Field If our own life is the life of a flower (And that’s what some sages are thinking), We should moisten the bud with a beer after beer And ‘t will bloom all the sweeter ------------------ Henry Aldrich If all be true that I do think, There are five reasons we should drink; Good beer — a friend — or being dry — Or lest we should be by and by — Or any other reason why. -------------------- Lord Byron 'Tis pity beer should be so deleterious, For tea and coffee leave us much more serious. -------------------- Peter Gravallo Here's to wives and sweethearts drinking beer so sweet! Chug it down and hope they never, never meet! Special thanks all for sending in the poems! Be a Beer Muse. Send your poems/stories to webmaster@beernexus.com |
