| --------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------- Wallace Rice There is a rule to drink, I think, A rule of three That you ‘ll agree With me Cannot be beat And tends our lives to sweeten: Drink beer ere you eat, And while you eat, And after you have eaten! ------------------------------ Gilbert Chesterton Feast on beer or fast on water, And your honour shall stand sure; God Almighty’s son and daughter, He the valiant, she the pure. If an angel out of heaven Brings you other things to drink, Thank him for his kind intentions, Go and pour them down the sink. ------------------------ Robby McLintock Notably fond of music, I dote on a sweeter tone Than ever the harp has uttered or ever the lute has Known. It the vexing tone of beer poured in a glass comforts to mind and body to come pour me beer again and be you fast ------------- John Wilmont Vulcan, contrive me such a cup As Nestor used of old! Show all thy skill to trim it up, Damask it round with gold. Make it so large that, fill’d with brew Up to the swelling brim, Vast toasts on the delicious lake Like ships at sea may swim. ------------- William Aytoum FAh, liberty! how like thou art To this large bottle lying here, Which yesterday from foreign mart, Came filled with potent English beer! A touch of steel—a hand—a gush— A pop that sounded far and near— A wild emotion—liquid rush— And I had drunk that English beer! Special thanks all for sending in the poems! Be a Beer Muse.
