I Was Crying In My Beer Last Night Poem by Frank Papaycik

I was crying in my beer last night,
The suds were rich and thick
More tear than beer foamed the head.
O’Douls doesn’t provide much kick

I was decrying the wretched state of man
Not really over any man or men
But really crying over me for me
There is no one else who will

The tears came from catholic woes and words
A cold, cold, heart - A melody
From San Antone - Or South
Of the Border - places where

No one really goes - I think
I’ve never been to any of them
Place mentioned in them songs.
But I sense the passion of them

Words reflecting mine back on me.
No one ever promised me a rose garden
I never tried to get to Phoenix
I have walked thru a ring of Fire


And I know most sadly, most profoundly
Partner, it’s the Parting of the Way …
But if your ever needing me some day
Oh, I will come ariding right away

Partner
It’s
The
Parting of the Way.

Tears
In
Beer
Are very comforting.

Some
One
Should
Sing that Song.
