| --------------------------------------------- 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 Dragon by Davis Bruce There once was a young dragon who enjoyed a good flagon But his love of ale turned his fiery breath pale ------------- Bubble Bubble by William Goldman Fezzik's in trouble, bubble bubble, His brain is just not in the pink, His mind is rubble, rub-a-dub double, Because he's had too much beer to think. -------------- A Brew For You by Joan LaBelle (adapted from Sarah Willey poem) What's up? Not much. What's down? The ground. Silly Rhymes Don't make sense I'm starting to get tense... Well, there is only one thing to do Sit down and have a brew or two. ---------------------- Drinking by Isabel Tolling Enlightenment and libation Go hand in hand; It’s time to take a serious stand, To raise the cup And to go bottoms up; We’ve got to down one more Until it’s no longer a chore; For resolving this dilemma is rooted In drinking beer until we are muted. --------------------- Rhyme by Stan Dupp Oh come on, let that strong ale rule over us; We’ll pour our glasses and drink in chorus; Dear me, I do seem to have grown so porous; Let’s us pour our glasses and drink in chorus. Well, you see, this beer it is so very fine; I’m beginning to think I could speak in rhyme; I was so sad, but now I so shine; I’m beginning to think I could speak in rhyme. -------------------- Heavy Wet by Bert Perkins ("Heavy Wet is an old nickname for porter) O Heavy Wet! thine excellence I sing, O Heavy Wet! Nectar of man, who, having beer, Need envy not Olympian cheer – On thee my soul is set! The fittest drink I stout maintain, For coppers cool or hot, Is porter – by the Thames’s side From Barclay’s vasty vats supplied, Pull’d from a pewter pot! Oh Porter! stream of Paradise! By thee to man is given Delight more rare than bearded Turk, When rushing to the deathful work, Aspires to taste in Heaven. Beers by Mo Townsend With so many flavors in dark or light you’ll find a few brands that tastes just right With kegs, draft and tap and even microbrew there’s so many choices try more then just a few An iced cold beer no doubt, is such a winner there’s even been nights that’s all I’ve had for dinner Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
