Of "tanks" he's the largest and worst
Three breweries live by his thirst
To drink beer by the tun
Is his idea of fun
And some day he will certainly burst.

But your breath smells a trifle like hops!

Hey Mabel


There once was a waitress named Mabel,
She'd come to you at your table,
With a smile and a wink,
She'd ask, "What'll you drink?"
For me it was Carling's Black Label.

For others, their favorite, it's Bud,
Wiser folks say,
Just drink what you may,
Your beer doesn't make you a stud.



Good Beer & Joe Plank


Good beer always tickled Joe Plank,
One evening two gallons he drank,
Then a stranger nearby,
Remarked with a sigh,
Great Scott! That's no man - that's a tank!

Contemplation On A Barstool


I sit and I think about drinking,
I hear ice plink and glass clinking,
Why wonder why
My soul gets so dry?
I just order and drink without thinking.

To myself, I indeed, was no miser,
But I drank it too fast,
And often got trashed,
So now, am I older but wiser?

A Shakespeare Beer Limerick?

"Do you care much for Shakespeare?" asked she
Of the dude on the parlor settee
Said he, "Well Miss Ruth, 
To tell you the truth,
Most any old beer will suit me."

Prairie Home Companion Beer Limericks

There was a young man who loved Schlitz
Which he drank in his room at the Ritz
With pate (very rich)
And olives from which
His servants had cut out the pits.


There was a young man who loved Pabst
He drank it until he collapsed
He gave up beer
For Lent every year
And on Easter morning, relapsed.


There was a young man who loved Millers
More than all other painkillers
He drank secretly
In a dark shadowy
Doorway hidden by pillars.


There was a young man who loved Blatz
He drank it straight out of the vats
Along with a platter
Of vegetable matter
And another of animal fats.

Miss Rheingold 1953

My beer is Rheingold the dry beer
Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer
It’s refreshing– not sweet
It’s the extra dry treat
Won’t you try Extra Dry Rheingold Beer!

To beat them once more is our wish again,
You can't move The Game,
For dollars - that's lame,
We must end the season with Michigan!

The Praises of Beer (Wooden Shoe Lager)


I sing the praises of beer,
To everyone able to hear,
Hops, barley and yeast,
Good water, not least,
To all who imbibe - good cheer!

Johnny Tarr




Our champion, he was Johnny Tarr,


Never beaten, he was at the bar,

Perhaps he was cursed,

For he died, yea, of t'irst,

The doctor exclaimed, by gar!

The Poker Cut Up - Vintage Limerick Postcard


His dough made him feel like a cut up,
Tho' he stalled as a thought lit his nut up
Said he'd bet 'twas a cinch,
The whole works would be pinched,
But they told him to put up or shut up

The Waitress

The waitress asks, "What is it you wish?"
Whether soup or meat, dessert or fish.
She spills things galore,
In pacing the floor,
And often her thumb you'll find in the dish.
