--------------------------------------------- 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.

--------------------------------------------- George Arnold O, finer far Than fame, or riches, are The graceful smoke-wreaths of this free cigar! Why Should I Weep, wail, or sigh? What if luck has passed me by? What if my hopes are dead,— My pleasures fled? Have I not still My fill Of right good cheer,— Cigars and beer? ------------------------ Abraham Cowley Underneath this Myrtle shade. On flowry beds supinely laid, With od’orous Oyls my head o’re-flowing, And around it Roses growing, What should I do but drink away The Heat, and troubles of the Day? -------------------------- Mike Cross Here's to the beer we love to drink And the food we love to eat. Here's to our wives and sweethearts, And may they never meet. ------------- Thomas Acquilla When the glass is full, Drink up! Drink up! This maybe the last time We see this cup. If God wanted us sober, He'd knock the glass over, So while it is full we drink up! ------------- Kevin Murray (with apologies to Yeats) "Beer comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all that we will know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you and I sigh." -------------------- Reed Johns I have drunk from the cup of life, from the brim, to the dregs, but all I ever really wanted, was the beer inside that Keg -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
