Dog Fight

Drinking and flying
Is much harder than it looks.
The shooting’s tough too.

After the Game

Winners and Losers
Share beer, tales, and fellowship
‘Til the next battle

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Flying Dog announced the winner of their Twitter haiku contest yesterday. Redhead Writing was the obvious champion with her subtle but poignant verse:

Drinking Flying Dog
Makes boys touch my breast-es-ses
So I drink it lots.

Congratulations to all the winners and entrants! Cheers!

Without much fanfare
He toasts to the memories
Then plows straight ahead

Battle for glory
In comfort, I watch, amused
Toasting the victors

Beer Can Regatta

Atop beer can boats
Brave crews launch into battle
For fun and glory
