Premium MemberThe Guinness Is In Us

Say goodnight the party's over

One more year a four leaf clover

A pint of Guinness before bed

Heals the shillelagh to the head

Premium MemberGuinness Blessing

To every man who's gathered in the pub,
enjoying our good Guinness by the glass—
may all your troubles burp and belch away
and all your dreams, in bubbles, come to pass.
For never on this Greenest Isle was seen
a sweet colleen, or girl, or bonnie lass
could half resist a man whose frothy ale
bestowed a blessing, brewed with
Guinness gas.

Sláinte!

His drink the black beauty foaming and thick
toasting St Patrick until he gets sick
then off to the loo
he knows what to do
cuz ya can't teach an old dog a new trick

International Drunkenness

Vodka seems to be part of the Russians.
It's like order and structure for Prussians.
Vodka opens the mind,
but it makes one inclined
to fall over and suffer concussions.

How the Irish delight in their drink
is straightforward and touching I think.
Sean and Mary McGinnis
raise their glasses of Guinness,
and then gulp to oblivion's brink.

I’ve been told that the Finns take to boozing.
They love Kossu — a drink of their choosing.
This tradition is old
for in Finland it's cold,
so their habit can merit excusing.

Premium MemberTaste of Guinness, Scent of Heather: a Monotetra

Sunlit days I spent on the moor
Sweet Summer heather scents allure
Bathing in waves on Dublin's shore
Aye, Irish lore       Aye, Irish lore

Crumbling castles on exhibit
Pricey ticket;  warm day visit
Guinness stout without a limit
Tastes exquisite    Tastes exquisite

Stung by wild bees in clover leaves
Winded, needed the help of sheaves
Love for Ireland my heart now weaves
And soon it grieves    And soon it grieves

Time has come for vacation's end
And Summer's days with Autumn's blend
When I close my eyes and pretend
In dreams I wend       In dreams I wend

Drink Guinness

St Patrick’s day is great
to drink Guinness and relate
how great the Irish are
at falling out of bar
in a highly drunken state

Guinness Interruptus 

The sweet lass he was chasing was Finnish
but like Popeye he needed his spinach
to build up his strength
in longing and length
so he stopped for a flagon of Guinness

Pints of Guinness

Pints Of Guiness
By Laura D
2.18.2017

Fragile as we really are 
We'll never make it very far
Twisted as my heart can be
 It never falls for fallacy

If I could only stay awake
I'd stay this way without a way
Decay among the frayed outlines
I swear to god i'd be just fine

Put your tired hand in mine
Grab my hips and blur the lines
Pin me down and save my broken mind
More than a bag of sunshine could ever hope to find

So get me higher than the clouds above
Free me of humanity and see what's left to love
To live by the fire, i'll die by the flames
Casting shadows taller than my given name

Give me a day, or even a year
Send me through haze until i'm crystal clear
Remembering all the honest words never  told
Frozen tears for Laura in the calm, atlantic cold tonight...

Guinness Finesse

There’s an art to the pouring of Guinness
requiring a devilish finesse
twixt the foam and the ale
the rule cannot fail
never pour ‘til the first one is finished.

Oh Guinness

Iced-sweats seep down her ebony skin-
this sexy number 8 needs a take-in.
while she gawp, i stared back
only to drool and hijack 
her, for her name is GUINNESS, my sole kin!
