Rubaiyat of Beer: Part 5

The barman produces another cup
Undismayed he wipes and turns it up
    Then fills it with golden liquid
And dun froth, more of the hearty sup.

Why eat when you can drink?
Why work when you can think?
     And when the waves are so cool, so comforting,
Why swim when  you can sink?

Mistress barley golden hair
Will take you in her tender care
     Let yourself sink to her tan
Bosom and nevermore gasp for air.
