There’s just one thing worth dying for,
or two, if thinkin’ clear;
love’s the first one through the door
side-by-side with beer.
Love is what puffs up the soul
and solids up the heart,
the thing that heals and makes you whole,
but that is where you start
appreciatin’ Coors fine brew,
and Foster’s ice-cold lager…
don’t forget the Guinness, too
and Bud will always augur
well to fan true love’s bright ember
and for a night you won’t remember.
Fingers fast, brain glacial.
…love is what puffs up the soul…
NOT pudfs.

The nice thing is that I can edit comments, so “pudfs” no longer exists. 😉

Beautiful words, Andrew. Truth laced with your trademark humor, although I know you’ll insist you’re serious. And yes, true love means we are willing to lay down our life for another.
What the world needs now, is love sweet love…
