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

--------------------------------------------- Julie Townsend Words to heed before you drink read each one and carefully think: Ale before sleeping, morning of weeping. Beer before gin, sick in the bin. Vodka and ice, pay a high price. Beer and champagne, hurt in your brain Big IPA, turn slightly grey Bit too much port, wind up in court ----------------- J.H. O'Donald 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! -------------------- Jake McGill Heres to a long life, and a happy one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and a honest one. A cold beer... and another one! ------------------------ Harry Zahn So let me eat when I'm hungry Drink when I'm dry... If the whiskey doesn't kill me I guess I'll drink till I die..." ------------- Mihael Reed With so many flavors in dark or light you’ll find a few brands that tastes just right With kegs, draft and tap and even microbrew there’s so many choices try more then just a few An iced cold beer no doubt, is such a winner there’s even been nights that’s all I’ve had for dinner ------------------- Emily Dickinson I taste a liquor never brewed From Tankards scooped in Pearl Not all the Frankfort Berries Yield such an Alcohol! Inebriate of air am I And Debauchee of Dew Reeling thro’ endless summer days From inns of molten Blue -------------- Gary Graffy Here is to the bitter eye of the even sky The lovely beer I imbibe So I can feel just a little more alive For that cardiac killing back breaking Blood spilling sweat distilling nine to five ---------------- John F McCullagh Blessed are we all to live in a time when the love of Craft beer exceeds that for wine. Hops, malt and barley all now rule the day When brewed up together in a nice I.P.A. Who cares if some hipsters choose to babble away about hints of oak in some obscure Chardonnay. We are no longer limited to our father’s Budweiser. The vast choice of beers would astound those old timers! Cherry Wheat, pumpkin, and Oktoberfest You’ll fall down on your face ere you’ve tried all the rest. As Ben Franklin stated wittily and succinctly” “Beer is the proof God meant man to be happy.” -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
