Oh -- Good Lord

[WalkingWolf]

A co-worker brought me a copy of the book Home Brewing Without Failures this morning. Thumbing through I came across this poem.

Oh -- Good Lord

The Horse and Mule live thirty years,
Yet know nothing of wines and beers.

Most Goats and Sheep at twenty die,
And have never tasted Scotch or Rye.

A Cow drinks water by the ton,
So at eighteen is mostly done.

The Dog in milk and water soaks,
And then in twelve short years he croaks.

Your Modest sober, bone-dry Hen,
Lays eggs for Nogs, then dies at Ten.

All Animals are strictly dry,
They sinless live and swiftly die.

But sinful, Ginful, beer soaked man,
Survives three socre years and ten.

While some of us, though mighty few,
Stay sozzled till we're ninety-two.

[ammo man]

I like it! Clever poem.

Don't know if I will make it to 92, but I am working on it.

As most of you know there are numerous scientific studies PROVING that alcohol is good for you.

This is hardly original or new. Was given to me as a teenager some 30 odd years ago. Was reflecting on it today as I hammered out a "bracket" from flatstock while my son stood their asking if this is how it was done in the "old-days".

When I'm in a sober mood,
I worry, work and think;
When I'm in a drunken mood,
I gamble, play and drink.

When my moods are over
and my time has come to pass,
I hope they bury me upside down
so the world can kiss my ass.

[LWTCS]

Hahaha.
And finally get some rest too.

Long as it don't hurt too bad,,,,I ain't sceer'd.

Tax man can finally kiss my ass.

Cheers Ed.
