The Beer Prayer

I have just a few days left with my old friend, beer. Over the years we’ve had a lot of fun together.

It saw me through college and helped me dance on my wedding night. It made yard work more pleasant and baseball watchable. It helped me vote and get through family reunions. It was there for me when I had that problem in Mexico and… oh yeah, uh, that time I think it was the cause of my problems.

Sigh…

Beer, is there anything it can’t do?

Anyway, as the three wise men said, “Tastes great,” “Less filling,” and “Brilliant!”

Now let us bow our heads one last time…

The Beer Prayer
by Anonymous

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be Thy drink.

Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the tavern.

Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.

For thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever.

Barmen.

Goodbye, old friend. I’m gonna miss you.
