So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses; Work's the curse of the drinking classes. -------------------------- Oliver Goldsmith Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning; Good liquor, I stoutly maintain, Gives genius better discerning. ----------------------- G.K. Chesterton Feast on beer or fast on water, And your honor shall stand sure If an angel out of heaven Brings you something else to drink, Thank him for his kind attentions, Go and pour it down the sink ------------------------------ 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, and I sigh. ------------------------------- Craig Klatz If all be true that I do think, There be Five Reasons why one should Drink; Good friends, good beer, or being dry, Or lest we should be by-and-by, Or any other reason why. ------------------------------------ Matt DeReno Beer of the golden-colored even, Companion of Fred, Bob, Joe and Stephen, Why at the closing sounds of the fourth quarter whistle, The empty keg makes us bristle. So fair thy pilsner beauty foam When soft the beer of Lite flows; So due thy lager love returns To bar rooms brighter than the rose; Special thanks all for sending in the poems! Be a Beer Muse.
