I think that I shall never hear
A poem as lovely as a beer
I’ve heard of trees and leaves of grass
But true poetry comes in a glass
Be it in a mug, flute or stein
Beer’s delicious most any time
Barley, malt and those hops
What they produce is just the tops
Whether a Pilsner, Ale or Stout
All make me give a shout
Oh, that lovely, lovely taste
Never should it be drank in haste
It may be warm or it may be cold
Such a glorious sight to behold
From the tap, bottle or can
For your thirst, there’s nothing better than
When you come home tired and dirty
There’s no time like beer-thirty
Before the first domestic cow did moo
Man had on hand his favorite brew
So to you I raise a cheer
As I drink my delicious beer.
I guess the manager really is a fan of the game. Last time we went. the guys behind us got drunk and stupid (maybe not in that order) and our group left early to get away from them before we killed them. Drunks are the only ones having fun around themselves and end up killing folks driving home like that.. Sorry. Just pointing out this isn’t really as funny as it seems and is destroying a lot of possible fun times kids could have a game.
As Grog mentioned…
The key..to transport with the Mammoth wagon..is
to make “Bud(Wiley)..Wiser”…where’s Wolfie..standing in for the Dalmatian riding the wagon?..Babe Ruth didn’t need
steroids…wonder what brand of beer the Babe imbibed?..
Thanks, Saucy1121. Glad 2 no Eye was C’ing thangs that’er really there. Have not had eyes checked in 5 years (OK, 4.5 yrs) but that ends Monday 18 APRIL 2011 - TAX DAY!!! Also, having to sit in her chair while she asks, “Which is sharper the Red one or the Green one?” the only thing I can say is, “Doc, they both are as fuzzy as a piece of 6 week old cheese!”
I can spell better than the 1st 2 lines. I was responding to your last line, “…on a page of otherwise Identical comments.”

Is that enough to get you through the long season ahead, Wiley? I think not.

The qualities were of Beer and Wine were probably never better stated than when Benjamin Franklin noted:
Beer and Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

To paraphrase Jimmy Buffet, “It’s always ‘beer-thirty’ somewhere.

@Woody Only you see that box around your comments. It’s a way to help you find what you wrote on a page of otherwise identical comments.

freeholder1 when I’m drinking, I leave the driving to taxi drivers. But it really pisses me off when they are drinking on the job. I will report them.
