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

The Beer Muse

| --------------------------------------------- Robert Louis Stevenson Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of ale, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore! ------------------------ T.L. Peacock Seamen three! what men be ye? Gotham's three Wise Men we be. Whither in your bowl so free? To rake the moon from out the sea. The bowl goes trim. The moon doth shine, And our ballast is old barleywine. -------------------------- G.K. Chesterton And Noah he often said to his wife when he sat down here, 'I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the beer'. ------------- John Keats Souls of poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink better this year Than mine host's homemade beer? ------------- John Keats Give me women, beer and snuff Until I cry out 'hold, enough!' You may do so san objection Till the day of resurrection; For bless my beard then aye shall be My beloved Trinity. -------------------- Lord Byron Let us have beer and women, mirth and laughter, Sermons and soda-water the day after. ------------------- John Gay Fill ev'ry glass, for beer inspires us, And fires us With courage, love and joy. Women and ale should life employ. Is there ought else on earth desirous? -------------------- Johann Heinrich Voss Who does not love ale, women, and song Remains a fool his whole life long -------------- Cole Porter I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all, So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you. -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
