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

| --------------------------------------------- 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! ------------------------ Linda Zales (apologies to Thomas Hood) It’s very well to talk in praise Of Tea And Water-drinking ways, in proper time and place; But I want beer so fine and cool, Dipp’d out of the vat's pool Bringing a smile to my face. -------------------------- Sidney Fields 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 here And more of in every beer ------------- Tom D. Trader To day is Ours; what do we fear? To day is Ours; we have it here. Let’s treat it kindly, that it may Bring many a beer with us to stay. ------------- Will Johnson Vulcan, contrive put beer in my cup As Nestor used of old! Show all thy skill to trim it up, Damask it round with gold. Make it so large that, fill’d with brew Up to the swelling brim, Vast toasts to health and vigor too Like ships at sea may swim. -------------------- Randy Andrews THREE brightest blessings of this thirsty race, (Whence sprung and when I don’t propose to trace); Pale ale, potent dark stout like the night, Half and half when the morn is bright; To make the third, combine the other two, Drink up; you mixture is a joyus brew -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
