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

| --------------------------------------------- Tom Miller Beer and champagne, Excite your brain But sour mash whiskey, gets you too frisky ----------------- A. E. Housman Ale, man, Ale's the stuff to drink, for fellows whom it hurts to think. -------------------- P.R. Wodehouse Sober or blotto, this is your motto: keep muddling through. Have another beer or two You'll start fresh and new ------------------------ Dan Archley Friends may come and friends may go, but beer comes to soothe the blow ------------- Charles Kelly Here’s to lying, cheating, stealing, and drinking… If you’re going to lie, lie for a friend. If you’re going to cheat, cheat death. If you’re going to steal, steal a heart. If you’re going to drink, drink beer with me -------------------- Alfred Hitch Draughts of heaven, distilled sunlight, Transparent, tonic, dry, Blown down mountain and o’er desert Out of the clear blue sky. Standing in the crystal ether, The desert floor upon, Fill, we drink to Arizona The goblets of the sun. ------------------- 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? -------------------- Thomas Hood It’s wery well to talk in praise Of beer-drinking ways, in the proper time and place; We finish the brew without a trace -------------- Lynn Bryant Notably fond of music, I dote on a sweeter tone Than ever the harp has uttered or ever the lute has Known. It is the sound of beer lowing from a tap Making each of us at the pub a worthy chap -------------------- Allan VanPelt THREE brightest blessings of this thirsty race, (Whence sprung and when I don’t propose to trace); Pale brandy, potent spirit of the night, Brisk beer, welcome when the morn is bright; To make the third, combine the other two, The force of nature can no further go.
