Ode to beer

“Beer is proof that God loves us”.
Ben Franklin.

I like beer and I hope beer likes me.
At my favorite pub, I drink my friend, beer.
Within beer’s quiet embrace, I think about
life’s important matters. Life and death,
Freedom and immortality, dignity and honor,
and dam, that girl is cute. Oh, anyway,
under beer influences, I have solved all the world’s
problems. I just can’t remember in the morning.
Under beer influence, I was Don Juan and Casanova
and Valentino all rolled up in one. Alas the beer wore off
and I was left with another chew off women’s arm in the
morning. Under beer, I was wise and witty and brilliant.
the make believe world of beer is a nice change of pace
from the reality of the world. I know I am getting too old
for beer. Young men with liver’s that still work, they can
drink beer. I can only envy them. Soon I must walk
away from my friend, beer. But not tonight. Tonight
I shall have some beer and become Don Juan again
and think myself brilliant and wise. Beer. Thank you
for clouding my judgement long enough to think myself
witty and wise. Without you, I would have had a lot less sex.
And again, I thank you, beer, my friend.

Kropotkin

Simple beer prose PK. I like. Direct and literal. I know that friendship well…beer sometimes gives you hope when nothing else will…beer sometimes gives you hell when everyone else wants a heaven…

Whiskey’s too rough
Champagne costs too much
and Vodka puts my mouth in gear!
Oh this little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact:
I like beer
(He likes beer)
Last night I dreamed
That I passed from the scene
And went to a place so sublime
All the water was clear
and it tasted like beer . . .

Praise be St. Corbinian!

"…So I stop in the local bar you know people,
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
Said “Look man, come down here”, he got down there
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well I ain’t seen my baby since I don’t know when,
I’ve been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I’m gonna get loose,
need me a triple shot of that juice
Gonna get drunk don’t you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

But I’m sitting now at the bar,
I’m getting drunk, I’m feelin’ mellow
I’m drinkin’ bourbon, I’m drinkin’ scotch, I’m drinkin’ beer
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
I said “Look man, come down here”
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain’t seen my baby since the night before last,
gotta get a drink man I’m gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain’t had enough,
need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won’t you listen right here,
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Now by this time I’m plenty high,
you know when your mouth a-getting dry you’re plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said “Look man, come down here”, he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said “Look man, a-what time is it?”
He said “The clock on the wall say three o’clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?”

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain’t seen my baby since a nigh’ and a week,
gotta get drunk man so I can’t even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me,
one drink ain’t enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I’m gonna make it real clear,
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer " -Thorogood

I hit the bars and
I lost my can
I got a bottle
and forgot the can
Gone, gone, the can was gone…

I sing the song
because I love the can
I know that some of you
don’t understand
cold-beer
to keep from running out.

I’ve seen the ale
go down the hatch
A little part of it in everyone
But every drunkards
like a settin’ drunk
