Elizabeth Wesley Poet Rhyme

Bless My Beer

When friends do stray
And days grow drear;
It's nice to know
I can sip a beer.

Oh bless my beer
To the bitter end;
That foam topped glass
Is my best friend.

When I'm feeling blue
It is always here;
On a moment’s notice
The warmth is cheer.

You've seen me through
A marriage thrice;
And although those times
Were not so nice;
I always knew
I could depend on you.

For What Turns You On - Contest
Elizabeth Wesley

Daver Austin May 29, 2012 at 9:47 AM What kind do you like, Liz? I grew up in Denver just a few miles from Golden, CO where they brew Coors. You could get 3/2 beer at age 18. There was enough alcohol that if you drank enough of the stuff you could get pretty high. Those days are over. I dare not touch alcohol now, but Jim Beam has gotten me through some scary public performance. Good hic write. Love, daver

Robert Pettit February 6, 2012 at 9:33 PM I see you won in the contest with this entry. Congratulations! It has good wording and rhyming, even though you sacrificed good grammar in your first verse so the second and fourth lines would rhyme. Still it was a fun read.
