| --------------------------------------------- A 3900 year old Samarian poem honoring the patron goddess of brewing, Ninkasi. "Ninkasi, you are the one who bakes the bappir in the big oven,Puts in order the piles of hulled grains, You are the one who waters the malt set on the ground... You are the one who holds with both hands t he great sweet wort... Ninkasi, you are the one who pours out the filtered beer of the collector vat, It is [like] the onrush of Tigris and Euphrates" -------------------------- James Zacherley There is something about a beer A tingle exceedingly pleasant Make it a mellow, a hoppy brew I think that I'll have one at present There is something about a beer That bings singing and dancing a lot And to tell you the truth, It is not the malt I think that, perhaps, it's the hop ------------------------------ William Butler Yeats Beer comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh. ------------------------ Paullette Parington When you’re feeling sad & blue And have no clue what to do Sit down and have a cup of tea pint of beer And a hug or two or maybe three Feel those troubles melt away And start you on a better day. ------------- Jason Drummer When I use my kegerator To get a drink It doesn't work The way you'd think With the CO2 up high The beer goes And hits me right Upon the nose. I turn it down To make it small And don't get any Drink at all. Special thanks all for sending in the poems! Be a Beer Muse. Send your poems/stories to webmaster@beernexus.com |
