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

What makes the whole world cheer? What is it we praise In millions of ways — Could it be a thing other than Beer?! ------------------- Get Drunk by Charles Baudelaire Always be drunk. That’s it! The great imperative! In order not to feel Time’s horrid fardel bruise your shoulders, grinding you into the earth, Get drunk and stay that way. On what? On beer, poetry, virtue, whatever.

Then I saw the word “Beer”, And one salty tear Of happiness escaped from my eye. ---------------------- Make Mine Beer by Chas Kelly Whiskey is nice with water or ice, But oh how I long for a beer Whiskey adn tonic cures illnesses chronic But Oh how I long for a beer Just a pint will do Though I'll need more than a few No matter the time of the day Truth be told As long as it's cold I'll drink it up right away -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
