Why I Like Beer...

Pop another top
open my friend
I'll tell you my whole story
from beginning to the end



.............why I like beer




Well, it started out
at gatherings
like "poker"
and "barbecue"

I'd pick me up
a "six pack"
just before
some "pool"

and late at night
with the "football game"
my wife taped
off for me

I'd down my "suds"
with a "Subway" sub
and "buzz" myself
to sleep....



.............Ya, I like beer



Beer helped me out
with my daughter
who married
such a "tool"

It got me
all my credits
I needed
to finish school

It's helped me
through the hard times
when Junior said
he'd like to be girl

Hell ya, I like beer,
guess I
couldn't live
without it my world.....



................Ya,I like beer



Beer seemed to take
my hearing
when my wife went
"spouting" off

cause I moved
on to a "Kegger"
'cause a "six"
was not enough

So, I lived on "buzzed"
that was all
there was
{after she left me}

Beer has always been
a friend of mine
now, can you understand,
and see?



............Why I like beer?



{Sure buddy, have another one on me}

leave it as it swills, a chug a lug story, trite as it may be, easy to drink away, not so easy to live away. you write of the common and the sad and you divest it of pretense or romance-- that, is a raw gift..
