| --------------------------------------------- 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.

| --------------------------------------------- John Riead Here's to the guy who is never blue Here's to the buddy who is ever true Here's to the pal, no matter what the load Who never declines, just one for the road ------------------------ 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. ------------- Matt Mulgrave I drink to your health, when I'm with you I drink to your health, when I'm alone I drink to your health so often I'm starting to worry about my own ------------ Ogden Nash Candy Is Dandy But liquor Is quicker. ------------------ Fran Festina There are many good reasons for drinking -- And one has just entered my head: If a man doesn't drink when he's living, How the hell can he drink when he's dead! -------------------- B. Jean Cofflin Champagne costs too much, Whiskey's too rough, Vodka puts big mouths in gear. This little refrain Should help to explain Why it's better to order a beer! -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
