2 Beers

“After an eight hour shift with 3,000 degree F. molten copper at the Noranda Copper Mine in 1962, cold beers were neat. Some men paid the price for all those quarts; no one drank pints.”

2 BEERS

on the table

cold ones at that,

now let’s not be late

for home again –

shall we?

Last time dishes

tossed and

a Cop visiting,

so no more

nonsense please.

One more round,

this time

three on the

table, all quarts once

again,

if you please.
