In Heaven there is no beer, that is why we drink it here:
There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head,
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How the hell can he drink when he's dead?
The only thing a man should worry about is his health and then..
if he's in good health, there's nothing to worry about; but if he's not in
good health, he worries whether he is going to live or die..
if he's going to live, he has nothing to worry about; but if he is going to
die, he worries about whether he's going to heaven or hell..
and if he going to heaven, he has nothing to worry about; and, if he's going
to hell , he'll be too busy shaking hands with all his friends to have any
time to worry !
So stop worrying !
Ode to Beer:
Of all my favorite things to do,
The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend,
with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer's so frosty, smooth, and cold
It's paradise Pure liquid gold
Yes beer means many things to me
that's all for now cus I gotta Pee.
DISCARDED LOVE:
He grabbed me by my slender neck
I could not yell nor scream.
He dragged me to a darkened room
Where he could not be seen.
He tore away my flimsy wrap
And looked upon my form.
I was so cold and damp while he was hot and warm
His feverish lips, he pressed to mine
I gave him every drop.
He drained me of myself I could not make him stop
He made me what I am today
That’s why you’ll find me here
A broken bottle thrown away
That once was full of beer.
