Short Ales Poems

Forty Lords a'leaping,
Forty bugs a'creeping
Forty forty year-olds,
With forty sad life tales.
Forty forty forty year-olds,
With their forty ales....

This year my belly started to grow,
So my goal was lose ten pounds or so,
After no bread or ales,
I then stood on the scales -
There’s only fifteen more pounds to go....

J-ust lift your spirits high, 
U-ntil you reach your goal; 
V-ales and mountains make strong
Y-our heart, your mind, and soul.

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of!"

What are big boys made of?
Chips and ales, and chasing girls tails
That's what big boys are made of!"...

Initially, it seems a-plenty...
    Alas, the game comes down to this:
        the glass half-full is shortly empty;
            the ales imbibed just turn to piss.

They say beer is an enemy of man...
      I drink and taste Ales, Lager, Pilsen well
      there are splendid things in this world...
       I imagine that whoever runs away
        from this type of enemy,
       doesn't realize what it's being able 
         to have friends!...

How all the ales taste of despair?
Before Belgium my thirst was quenched
Not long ago they all were fair
How all the ales taste of despair
In Belgium abbeys monks prepare
Tripels to make my drought get drenched
How all the ales taste of despair
Before Belgium my thirst was quenched...

There was a beautiful girl called Mandy 
Barman Andy loved mixing her Shandy 
He did strange cocktails 
Topped with frothy ales 
She blew off his foam, to sip the Brandy

              Two Silly Seals Limeridk
                       8/26/2023



Two silly seals were whooping it up.
Scarfing down,booze,cold ales and stuff.
Things got so dicey,
She,in the sea, icey.
His tears fall for her on moonlit nights.
He wants her back,to make things so right!

The President of the United States

Preposterous Nonsensical tweets

Uniting all the Russians
Triumphant against all enemies
Including the Great Satan
Nevertheless always living in fear...

Greased, thoughtful, sad but..
generating beauty from sadness
Saturating the body in the earths finest ales,
Sound waves as variable as the sea,
Breaking at chance intervals of..
unnerving calm.
Almost like cutting through foam,
where pockets of air appear from nowhere,
allowing sounds to reverberate around the gaps provided....

C oronation of lights
H eralding holiday rites
R inging bells guests invite
I llumined halls festivities incite
S ongs of carolers enliven dark night
T ales of Christmas ghosts by candlelight
M aterial aspirations pocketbooks slight
A ltruistic gestures to those with poorer plight
S piced nog, decorative cookies palates delight...

Tales in Norse folk lore of
these mythical creatures,
though sadly nowadays 
they are better known for
trawling the internet
targeting people on
Twitter and on Facebook

L-ife is a fine sight to see, 
O-nce you love the nature; 
V-ales, hills, streams, and seas 
E-ndorse unparalleled pleasure. 
L-ife is a fine sight to see, when you look upon the sky; 
Y-ou can watch the moon and stars, after the daylight passes by. 

B-ehold the wild animals, 
O-n the tenth of January; 
B-eautiful world we live in 
I-s a fine sight to 
S-ee....

No, I did nay walk the cold harbour docks
Felt too tipsy and fell in the drink
Drank too much as the ticker in me tocks
Dead men tell no tales in the blink
Eyes patched over me hardy, yar, flows
The wine inta piss, my heart inta bliss
Rows the dead man telling no tales
Rows the dead man drinkin those ales
Three to tha wind laddies, heave ho
I'm nay walkin home, I can't go....

it will be so sweet
when christmas takes a back seat
and avalanche ends

predictable rends
to credit card and pocket
new years time to look

for left over sales
while the bank accounts pale
stuff comes to the door

theres no room for more
so i buy six different ales
to unfurl the sails

and drift on the winds
while old man winter begins
his snow cold chagrin

The nails

The rails

The sails

The fails

The pails

The ales

The veils

The tales

Males of all the species
Are seeking a conjugal partner
To continue the circle of life
In the springtime, a
Noble endeavor which
Gives life meaning and purpose.

Searching for love a human
Experience, almost exclusively,
Although 
Some animals mate for life with
One exclusive partner --
Now less common with humans.

I do know a hipster
he has a bushy beard
he likes a little sipster
though he acts a little wierd

he tries a sip at night
of ales not had before
to check it tastes alright
not leaving him feeling poor

this may attract a frown
amongst the great unwashed
from that there London town
and some say that it's all tosh!

It is not a biggy
To sip what he's not tried
In case it's brown and twiggy
and it smells like someone's died...

Cherry blossom dropping pink snow on a  summer day
beer garden gossip, and aw.some light ales 
An English  summer day served with ice and a slice
Your in paradise on such a sunny  day 
Kids playing on the swings and swishing down slides
their laughter mixing  with Katrina and the waves
Your walking on sunshine  this may day 
Picnics in parkland, dogs being walked on a lead 
sat on park bench eating ice cream 
and waiting for rain !...

Here we two are
 Telling our tales
In this bar
 Over our ales.

Two old friends
 Who lost touch
Trying for amends
 And what not and such.

Life has been
 Not very kind
Talk of back when
  We do remind.

Seeing you here
 Once again
How many years?
 Why it has been ten.

Though we are broken
 And were apart
Everything we've spoken
 Shows you are in my heart.

You will always be
 A very special friend
And so dear to me
  'Til we meet again....
