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.

| --------------------------------------------- Beer Is Just Fine by Roy Pett Without any doubt or fear my favourite drink is surely beer anything from pale, to brown ale in fact any beer that's on sale, never halves, only pints or larger stout, bitter, Smooth or golden lager, wonderful taste of malt and hops produced from ripe natural crops, must be drunk cold never warm drinking good beer will do no harm, beer surely doesn't cause a beer belly drink too much makes you very silly, you can keep your spirits and wine a good pint of beer to me is just fine, beer is drunk north, south, east and west every Country thinks their beers the best. ------------- National Beer Day by Alexia Andrews (adapted from poem by Eileen Bauer) Today's a holiday, but one You might not know about. It celebrates a drink I love And cannot do without. You may think coffee, but you'd be wrong (Although I love that, too). The beverage that's honored Is a wonderful refreshing brew. Yes, beer is the drink I mean - Bold, big, strong and rich. So many folks enjoy it And we'd never ever switch. To those of you who sip your wine be it red or white you think it fine I really think that beer is best Is the beverage better than the rest -------------- Stout Doggerel by J.M Gutherie I'd like to spend some time with you, my dark and smooth draftee. At dusk, when all my work is through, I know you'll wait for me. You're full of body, fair on top, a bubble-head they say. Your scent of roasted malt and hop a working-man's bouquet. Although there's fire in your veins, Your touch is always cool. I hope this doggerel explains why, Stout, I am your fool. ---------------------- Circles of Lace by Marlyn Ames He slowly sips every drop of that brew Rings of white foam lace around his glass They climb and drop still circles true His hand holds it fast as if stuck by glue --------------------- Ah, Beer by J.C. Bauer Beer, beer, beer, it's a magical brew It's lovely and perfect from every view Enjoy it by day or night and you'll see All the fun and mirth that will be -------------------------------- Beer Me by Reed Johnson An iced cold beer no doubt, is such a winner there’s even been nights that’s all I’ve had for dinner Beer loosens inhibitions and releases your fear but sometimes too much can make you unclear -------------------- Special thanks all for sending in the poems!
