I'll Drink To That


Alphonse Mucha ~ Art Nouveau


I’m no beer snob
no siree
dark beer, light beer
it's for me

sudsy, malty
heavy, light
earthy, creamy
they're just right

weekend’s here
we’re off the clock
cheers to us
tick-tock, tick-tock

lusty, bawdy
such a tease
pour me another
will you please?

    I almost chose this very painting to write to, but then everything went in a different direction for mine. Have one for me, Helen.

    I love the playfulness in this, Helen. I can just hear your words coming from her. Fun interpretation!

    Thanks for your visit at my place.

    I won't pilsiner in your pocket, but that is a mighty fine t-ale!
    The only question remaining is; Pony (7oz)? Middy (10oz)? Schooner (15oz)? or Pint (20oz)? What's it to be?
    NB. These terms apply only in NSW Orstralia. Other states have other names, clearly to embarrass the out-of-staters.

      Yes, I remember... and if you go back to Cairns again, you will find they now understand New South Walesian!

    This makes me want to crack a cold one, but I can barely ever drink a whole one. Love me an IPA.

    I had my last bit of beer in 2013. Your poem has left craving a sip. Or, perhaps, just a sniff.

    Delightful! Though personally I dislike beer – which is very un-Australian of me. (An ice-cold glass on a stinking hot day is a rare pleasure, but rare is the operative word.)

    A jolly little ode to suds and the drinking thereof!

    Nice. I would like to say that I am no beer snob but then I remember that there are a few very popular American beers that I am very snobby about, although, to be honest, I will still drink them! I prefer to be able to taste the grains though.

  30. RommyAugust 30, 2021 at 12:05 PM

    LOL, I am a bit of a snob. I prefer stouts (keep the IPA far from me please!) and they always taste best paired with a good burger. However, I am such a lightweight I need someone to split the beer with.

    Love how the poem sounds, can be recited, or sang! I still dont quite know which beer I like, but I love Hobgoblin, Lucifer, and Effes Dark.

    I am having a white month... but in my basement I have 20 liter + of my own homebrewn... (I am a snob when it comes to beer)

    Helen, I've never been a beer drinker, but! I feel exactly the same way about hard cider. Love the spirit (pun intended) in your poem.
