heres a random poem i found on a tract i gott a church:

The name of each saloon's a bar.,
The fittest of its names by far.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.

A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health;
A bar to honor, pride, and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame,

A bar to hope, a bar to prayer
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;

A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard's grave;
A bar to joys that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.
