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

| --------------------------------------------- The Empty Bottle by Anthony Franco (adapted from a Stan Dupp poem) Oh come on, let that golden brew rule over us; We’ll pour our glasses and drink in chorus; Dear me, I do seem to have grown so porous; Let’s us pour our glasses and drink in chorus. Well, you see, this beer, it is so very fine; I’m beginning to think I could speak in rhyme; I was so sad, but now I so shine; I’m beginning to think I could speak in rhyme. ------------- My Beer by J.R.R. Tolkien “Ho! Ho! Ho! To the beer bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe Rain may fall, and wind may blow And many miles be still to go But under a tall tree will I lie And let the clouds go sailing by.” -------------- Another Drink by Dr Seuss I want some beer to make me cheer Hurray! Hurrah! A cheer for beer! I will not stick it in my ear Hurrah! Hurray! I'm here for beer! I'll drink with my friends Jack and Ron I'll drink until my liver's gone I'll invite Sam and Bud and you And Captain Morgan can come, too I'm loaded now, I have to go My brain is working very slow There's just one thing I need to know: Where is the can? I have to go! ---------------------- Drinking Beer by Juan Olivarez One little beer can be alright, One big black beer, or maybe a lite. Two beers down you begin to glow, And you'll be singing, before you know. Three beers in your stomach, and thats ok, Cause to your own bed you still know the way. Four empty bottles and you'll agree, It's getting harder and harder to see. Five beers down and you start to sway, But on that stool you want to stay. Six beers down the hatch, so easily, And there's no other place, you'd rather to be. --------------------- 3 Beers by Sean Lynch 'Tis sure I'll be wearing the green, When the calendar says March seventeen, I'll drink a few Harp, Till my wits become sharp, Just try some, you'll know what I mean. 'Tis sure I'll be wearing the green, When the calendar says March seventeen, To help me to think, It Smithwick's I drink, Just try some, you'll know what I mean. 'Tis sure we'll be wearing the green, When the calendar says March seventeen, We'll be happy when in us, Are pints of black Guinness, Just try some, you'll know what we mean. -------------------- The Last Word by Larry Fince Said a tippler while tending his thirst, "I could swallow good beer till I burst." Said a temperance dame,- "It is always the same,- The best beer is as bad as the worst." ------------ Hail Beer by Glenn Connes I sing the praises of beer, To everyone able to hear, Hops, barley and yeast, Good water, not least, To all who imbibe - good cheer!
